silence...

You called me,
an echo in my dream
when my house was filled with
silence
You told me
you didn't want to be alone.
So, I went to our place.
Our place, that little part of the city
we called our very own...
despite all the people that bustled in it.
I descended the stair
there was no wind but the
cold air.
I walked the street
I had to
to get to you.
Eventually
I sat by your side.
You didn't ask me to
just the silence
of the cold air
A couple near us
was talking cheerfully
and a man, he walked his dog.
The light broke up the shadows
of the night
We talked and we listened to each other,
neither knowing how it began or ended.
You talked. I talked.
I told you it would be alright.
You told me I should face it.
We both said we didn't know how.
And we laughed at each other.
you took my hand.
You looked at me, so I embraced you.
I told you "don't be scared".
We were in our land, our little kingdom.
No one knows we go there
- except maybe for the couple and the man with the dog.
You were gone by the time I opened my eyes.
I knew you would,
eventually, do this.
I stood up - it was after midnight
a new day.
But I remember now
when I got to our place
looking for you,
once again
hoping
It wasn't your eyes I met.
It was my own.
The silence
of leaves
a couple
a man with a dog
and the light
that broke up shadows
of the night
And I was the only one looking back
at myself
sitting there once
with your hand in mine
I didn´t feel the warmth
but cold air
and
I died once again.
