It's interesting how little to say
can mean so much, between two
who have pretty much said it all,
in so many ways, in so many words,
and rarely in few.
What is it that makes someone want to say
what goes without saying? and think
that it bears repeating, even?
Harder to explain,
what makes it so interesting to you
that you want to hear more of this, again?
Like a favorite story: you love and you care,
all the more each time, and all the way through,
even though you know how it's going to end.
A bedtime story begins in dreams, and is told
to bring our way back to them. So tell me again,
before I sleep - my favorite one?
You know it's you
Who I want to keep, and whose voice
I will never get tired of listening to. A lullaby
begins from the safest place, and calling
- we find our way back to there. We never
get tired of the voice we love, calling us back
to embrace again, and falling asleep
forgetting cares. Even if we think
we know how it ends.
