Silence

I love the echo of nothingness
As I realize the absence of your voice,
Missing the beautiful way
Your mouth moves to form my name.
I love the upward and downward motions
Of your chest
As your breathing instinctively
Synchronizes with my heartbeat.
Unaware,
You lay there,
Nodding off into bits of sleep
While I draw invisible lined
Across the outskirts of your hand,
Tracing a roadmap from your heart to mine
Just in case you get lost sometimes
You can always find your way
Back home.
