Sorry if I flinch
When you make a sudden movement.
Sorry if I recoil
From your touch.
Sorry if I jump in response
To an unexpected noise.
Sorry if I don’t talk
All that much.
Sorry I can’t look you in the eye when
You speak to me.
Sorry if it seems I
Utter words in whispers.
Sorry if I am too sorry
You see,
It’s become
First nature
For me.
You touch me
And I hold my breath
Not wanting to make a sound.
Your eyes hold me.
They keep me up.
I find I’m floating
Above the ground.
Your soul whispers
“Come out and Play.”
In response
I cannot stay.
I am found.
Your heart plays a melody.
I find myself dancing
To a song that has been silent
An eternity
It seems.
Your lips speak my name.
In response
I will never be the same.
I am whole.
One day
I realized
If I slept too long
I would miss the moments
When the world was quiet.
I would miss
Beauty awakening
And
The first gentle caress of
Light in my world.
I would miss
The silent whisper of the day saying
“Here I am in all my glory just for you. Use me up until there is nothing left.”
