the sound of a thousand silences

"my biggest fear is that we discover that you actually wanted all this."

i am here, my love,
my eyes hazy, my hand warm in yours,
my mind only a million miles away,
wondering where that other road led to. 

i do not regret
walking away from an offer of love
to pursue a lifetime of regret. 

it is the order of life
that the desert dream of rain, 
and never know what drowning is.

it is the order of life
that the moon retire to make way for the sun;
a sun which never turns black
even when you look away. 

it is probably the order of life
that you haunt my dreams forever,
so i may never learn 
how not to love you.
