"It's like taking a guess when the only answer is yes."
This feeling of caring is more than I've ever known.
It's not in loud proclamations of passion,
or in sweeping demonstrations of knighthood,
but the concern in the words,
in his voice.
This feeling of security is more than I've ever known.
He doesn't have to promise me over and over that he'll stay.
He just will.
It couldn't be any other way.
Sometimes I just picture it in my mind--
us.
And my stomach turns and knots and waves crash and birds caw and everything is spinning and I'm safe.
How can I explain when I don't even understand?
Although I have no words I can't keep silent.
The rooftops and I have become recently well-acquainted..
There are some times, though,
when I can't even whisper it,
much less shout,
because it's all too rich inside me.
I don't want to share these feelings because they're just for me,
and even whispering his name to the darkness is too personal.
So I keep him inside,
and hold on to every moment.
Every laugh.
Every word said,
just for me.
And I'm smiling.
