No Words

          Shhh. . .
          No words
          I see it in your eyes
          I feel it when we touch
          I've heard you say it already
          Hush . . .
          The world says enough
          The silence says more
          We don't need to speak
          Shhh . . .
          Words can be hollow
          This feeling is the substance
          Let's listen to our hearts
          Hush . . .
          No words
