silence felt like a language

the best moments we ever had

were always in the middle

between ups and downs

through all the tougher me-and-you's

we found a quiet place to escape

where neither of us had to win

or prove ourselves worthy

while the world kept pulling at our sleeves

and asking us to carry more than we could hold

silence felt like a language

where unspoken things were understood

and ordinary moments

somehow became stories of their own

where the world kept forcing choices

and life kept changing its directions

yet between different timelines

we created a never-ending little together

and in the middle of all the chaos

those remained the best moments

simply being there
