Open Water

To not fill your time with someone is to trust, and to trust is to love.

When your voice wavers, it is because you’re struggling with the weight of the reality you speak of.

Your house is too quiet, or rather it is loud in the absence of others.

Which is to say there was more life in your hands than you expected.

You said to trust is not to fill time, but you would like to say to trust is to fill that time with each other.

In moments such as these, time acts as it does in your relationship, falling away; past, present and future melding in the warmth of their touch.

To be you is to apologize and often that apology comes in the form of suppression.

You said to trust is not to fill time, but you would like to say to trust is to fill that time with each other.
