embraces
we never talk about it -
that feeling between us two,
but every time we meet
I sense you feel it, too

we're both too afraid
to speak from our hearts
for fear that everything
around us will fall apart

so in idle smalltalk we engage
for our longing to assuage

and when we run out of topics
and don't know what else to say
into each other's arms
we eventually find our way

our hugs convey what
in words we can't express
that deep affection
we don't dare to confess

in our soulful tight embrace
all that's unsaid finds its place
