Simple Signs

elder earl grey

Morning light on quiet floors

Your last words echo through the door

Soft and slow, the day begins

I breathe you in like oxygen

 

Nothing loud, but something stays

Simple signs in small displays

 

And I fall, a little deeper every day

You don’t speak, but I hear you anyway

If you stay, I’ll let the quiet lead the way

I fall slow

But somehow you make it feel like fate

 

Coffee cools between your hands

We talk small, but somehow understand

Every look, the smallest grin

Feels like letting sunlight in

 

Nothing big, but it feels right

Soft and close, like holding night

 

And I fall, a little deeper every day

You don’t speak, but I hear you anyway

If you stay, I’ll let the quiet lead the way

I fall slow

But somehow you make it feel like fate

 

No need for all that timing

Just breathing in your quiet

Every second rising

Steady, undecided

 

And I fall, a little deeper every day

You don’t speak, but I hear you anyway

If you stay, I’ll let the quiet lead the way

I fall slow

And you’re the quiet that I want to keep
