Let's Run

Let's run away together, can you hear my silent heart scream? 

Maybe you don't want to, or I don't want to see you react. 

Let's run and make a rash decision. 

Colour my hair blue, change my entire career. 

Am I crazy for dreaming? For wanting what I don't have? 

I won't know whether the grass is greener until I jump over the fence, right?

Let's go on that trip, we've been planning for years! Just you & me.

Let's forget the world and run. Run before someone shoots a rope and binds our feet to the ground.

Let's run away together, can you hear my silent heart scream? 

Missing Pieces

I sensed I was lighter,

Parts of me missing on the way

I sensed I was sadder,

My shoulders carried all the load. 

I sensed I was older, 

Lines drawn across my face.

I sensed I was colder,

My soul locked behind walls.

I sensed I was wiser, 

Silence was my best kept answer. 

I sensed I was calmer, 

Maybe I had found what I lost.

More than words.

The moon shimmered over the waters, as we dipped our worn out toes into it.

My fingers, dirty with the muck we just trekked through, slipped slowly in between yours.

You didn't mind. You never really did.

Your soft eyes floated over my face, filled with a love that you never needed to spell out. 

I pulled out a few stray leaves that were tangled up in your ruffian hair.

Lay a small peck on your bearded cheek that I knew would make your soul swell up with a form of pride & possibly glee. 

We didn't know where the others were and you were a little tense.

Your head began bobbing, searching the terrain for any sign of them.

I squeezed your hand wordlessly, asking you to worry a little later.

A little reluctant, you pulled your nubile fingers out and wrapped your entire body around me.

Smiling I snuggled into your chest.

Smelling of sweat, mud and possibly goo with not a care in the world, we melted into each other's being.
