Echoes of You

I hear your thoughts,

Echoing within me,

Like the echoes of past years,

Like a glimpse of your memory.

I hear that expectation,

Cracking within me,

Like the cry of long-ago failures,

Like a plea from your desperation.

I hear that silence,

Spilling inside me,

Like the remnants of shattered dreams,

Like a fiery rebellion.

I hear those kisses,

Pounding inside me,

Like the silent rhythm of the universe,

Like a secret fantasy.

I hear my breath,

Collapsing inside me,

Like the cry of broken illusions,

Like a love for all time.
