She said one word, I said another.
We chased time until it ended.
Sunbeams searched the ground,
So the night gave way to day.

What felt like eternity
Was just the blink of lashes meeting.
Remembering words we changed,
Like the sweet caress of fingertips.

Words, they fade away.
What lingers is their touch,
Hidden deep behind flesh and bone,
To cast the mind back.

A word sparks the fire.
A sentence soothes the pain.
But what words forever lack
Is what eyes always see.
