ALOUD

Sunrise to sunset
And every moment in between
I just can’t speak your name aloud

Every second ticks by
With me watching you from a cloud
Your delicate hands teach me what I cannot see
And your touch silkens my flesh

I experience an exodus of what was once the present
And filled up my heart with a priceless jewel
I call to you as you smile at me
But somehow you have fallen for her
I wish I had in me enough to take you home

Sunset to sunrise
And every moment in between
I just can’t speak your name aloud
