Laying separately, with miles between.
Staring up at the bare, dark ceiling.
I have to wonder if you’re
getting the rest you require.

Silence can be the enemy.
Creeping doubt and insecurities
flooding all of your senses
in the deep solemnity of the early morning hours.

Emotions between two are never simple.
How close you can be with another person,
and yet how far you can be at the same time.
Feelings; are they meant to be hidden?

Life never comes with any guarantees.
We might have fifty years, or we might have fifty minutes.
Life never promises us that we’ll get to see the next day.
Is it better to keep silent, and is it better left unsaid?

Life doesn’t come with a definitive guidebook;
Does it make more sense to just be muted, like the night?
Simply wanting someone else to know how valued they are;
for better or worse, should we not admit it, if it’s purely felt?

Sitting silently in the all-encompassing obscurity,
Thoughts running through a mind in the pitch, preventing sleep.
Long after you’ve left, driving further away by the minute,
Meditations flood over from various areas of consciousness.

I know how unpredictable life can be, and how the unexpected can happen.
A life can be changed and variables can be disparate in a few seconds.
I have seen all of this happen, countless times.
A voice forever quieted, unable to communicate final reflections.

The deep well of emotions felt between two people;
Anyone should know how important they are to someone else.
Life can deliver the finest of surprises, and the deepest of shocks.
A life lived in suppression; can you say that was a life lived to the fullest?
