You offered not a ring, not a promise
You offered a whisper, a contentment
A gentle, rolling hill
A green sea
A vision, a dream
Mouthing the words to myself
No longer recognizing my own voice
I hear only you

I listen to your breath
I listen for the sigh

In the space between
The silence is suffocating me

I pray with
Palms behind my back
Eyes toward heaven
Lips parted on a song
