Harmony

You speak

I listen

Words melting as they tumble from your lips

You listen

I speak

But in the night we are but passing ships

You listen

I think

Thoughts mesh and gel as one upon the vine

You think

I listen

Our paths converge at once, they intertwine

You think

I crave

The heart that beats the rhythm of your soul

You crave

I think

And hearts once split asunder are now whole

You crave

I give

Affection and a reason to believe

You give

I crave

The harmony that one can never leave

You give

I take

The pleasure and the company at hand

You take

I give

A heart that seeks a bright new wonderland

You take

My words

And form them into actions with new meaning

Your words

I take

And forge them to a heart devoid of feeling

Your words

I listen

And souls collide entangled in the mist

You listen

My words

Remembering the first time that we kissed

You listen

I speak

Words weave in syllables of sound so sweet

You speak

I listen

Thoughts treasured till the next time that we meet

You speak

I listen

Words melting as they tumble from your lips

You listen

I speak

But in the night we are but passing ships
