I whisper “I love you” into the silence that surrounds me
I’m not sure why I do it
Nor do I know where it comes from
There is no face or name that elicits it
This spontaneous mouthing of these particular words
I wondered tonight
As they spilled as effortlessly as my first breath
Gently pushing aside the silence
Like a curtain
Like the curtain of snow that is falling endlessly
Perhaps a tiny spark in my heart
Doesn’t want my lips to forget
How to form those words
Or how sweet love tastes
Just in case
Just in case…
