at the coffee shop, at the restaurant
on the sofa
on the bed
a thousand things that could be said
or is there
does there need to be?
you’re okay with silence
you float in it happily
whilst i drown, silently
i need swimming lessons
please teach me
we’re here, but not really here,
you’re somewhere else entirely
and i’m changing the colour of the sky
ignoring the predicted forecast
even if it’s been right before
it’s blue if i say it’s blue
you’re looking at me
but you’re not seeing me
if you did you’d see the sunrise
reflecting in my eyes
your face has a golden glow
that i put there every morning
which exists until they close
heaven has nothing you couldn’t give me
even if you won’t
i pretend i can’t hear the rain
on the window
if i think loud enough
your heart will hear me
and you’ll speak
something reassuring
something to make me laugh
something to tell me this is still a good thing
and you’ll like me just as much in the autumn
as you did in the spring
