YOU

When I take a pause and close my eyes, I'm engulfed in darkness.

I'm scared and it's hard to focus.

I feel a light touch against my skin.

Why does it feel so familiar...yet so alien?

As soft as a gentle breeze, a voice whispers in my ear, 

'I love you.'

I'm tempted to open my eyes.

My heart races as the heavenly words messes with my head.

'Open your eyes to behold the countenance of your admirer.' It continues.

I silence the eager voice.

'Only one thing can make me open my eyes.'

'What is that?' the voice says.

'I need to feel it.'

Immediately, I feel strong arms envelop me.
These ones feel different, different yet strangely familiar.

Their warmth seeps through the fabric of my clothes onto my cold skin.

I gasp at the overwhelming feeling, opening my eyes.

'Who are you?' I whisper slightly distressed, yet pleased.

There was no reply.

And I realise, they didn't need to as they tighten their arms around me, 

Filling my insides with glorious peace and bliss.

Instinctively, I turn around and wrap my arms around them.

'You made me open my eyes.' I say.

Their embrace melt my frozen heart more than any words ever could.

I feel it.

Even without words, I understand you.

Because my soul, already dead to the world, no longer dances to the tune of sweet words.

But you understand the language of my sou
