A very small box

It's the small talk

And I looked at her

That gets you through.

And she looked at me

Those familiar unfamiliarities

And I smiled at her

That say nothing

And she almost smiled at me


Because nothing can be said

And I held her in my arms

That the moment hasn't already said.

And I held her

These are the moments we remember.

And I held

They remain etched

And I held

In our hearts,

And I

Scratching

And I

At our souls.

And

One day they will not hurt.

And

One day

And



And

I feel the urge to bear hug a big dog and a small redhead.

Beautiful, I found myself holding my breath towards the end - it's a danger for me with good writing!
