Quiet Love

Quiet love Shhh... I said be quiet, Still in my hand When you asked me to rub your back I said of course Silently, My nails made their mark On your body but not your heart We can't paint a picture with 1 hand, 2 hands, or 3 But each finger Communicates perfectly Simply, What I can't say, see or hear Like a little lost girl But without any fear I want you to hold me near And when you can't, won't, don't Somehow, I cope Because, I'm quiet love longing to be loved, held by you And I'll let you pull my hair and kiss my feet before you fall asleep And do you dream While I'm awake Waiting to feel your hand around my waist Waiting to feel your kiss on my neck I'm waiting love, Silent love, Quiet love, Shhh... liz gallo 2008
