Your way

Your way of loving
is to let me love you.
The yes with which you yield to me
is silence. You kiss
by offering your lips
for me to kiss.
Never will words, embraces
tell me that you existed,
that you loved me: never.
Blank pages tell me,
maps, auguries, telephones;
not you.
And I'm clasped to you
without asking you, for fear
it's not true
that you're alive and you love me.
And I'm clasped to you
without looking at you and touching you.
Lest I discover
with questions, and caresses,
that immense solitude
of being the only one in love.
I can hear what you're thinking,.. All your doubts & fears,... If U look in my eye,... In time you'll find,... the reason I'm here,.. In time U may come back somday,.. To live once more-- or die once more-- In time your time,... will be no more,...

    This is really sad and well written. :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!
  • thank you both very much,... at this fragile time for me you couldn't possibly know just how much your kind words help.
