It's Just That

I hear you whispering to yourself at night
I don't know if you even know that I can hear you
I don't know if you are awake or on the verge of sleep

I wonder at the words you never say to me
Sigh at the thoughts you don't feel you can share
I want your ideas, their trails and dead ends

Still, I have been allowed into this space,
In this moment you may be troubled and feel far away
As I feel, unable to do more than make a pass, some simple gesture

Not waiting
Not expecting
We bend space
Suspended in time

And I hope it is enough
Just to be here, with you
