Bridge

Bridge

Heart beat quickens
Mouth dries
Hands twitch
Voice thickens
Got to say it, got to say it
It pours out, spills across the
Void separating us, a tenuous bridge
Silken hope
“I love you”

Silence, I cringe, seeing my
Spider silk hopes sheared away.
Then you speak, and hopes are
Crystallized in joy, to hear
you answer them in your
soft, pure voice
“I love you too.”
