If I sing

If I fall, will you catch me again?
 
And where was I when you caught me before?
 
When we promised that promises were real,
 
back when forever meant always?
 
If always meant forever, why couldn’t I feel you catch me?
 
 
 
I want to sing to you.
 
Beautiful words with no melody.
 
Words with no rhythm, words with no sound.
 
Just breathing...
 
If I sing, will you listen?

(2010)
