When I Couldn’t Say It

We stood on the edge of morning,
two shadows against a sky that forgot how to speak.
No words—
just breath,
just presence,
just the quiet kind of love
that grows in the spaces silence leaves behind.

In his stillness, I learned strength.
In his glance, I learned love.
And though our mouths stayed closed,
my heart never wondered…

Some bonds don’t need sound.
