Speak to me
in whatever language you choose
for I long to listen

With subtle smiles or silent screams
recounting days or loves or lives
and I will tell you my story ...
I will tell you my story ...
if you would hear

Your eyes
touch me with a glance that lingers
for a moment
and a moment longer

Reading too much between the lines
of life''s everyday moments
inventing worlds where we can find
solace in one another

I begin each day disconnected
hearing only one voice
my own
