Talamanca

Early as dawn We were on the roof looking up Watching as the sky changed its colour Waiting for the sun Bring up our coffee, mango on a plate Back at home the air was so much colder in March We were waiting to escape Speaking without words Languages of seeing and being seen The feelings in the air A silence we both can read In April we met The boys down in the park With a frisbee Steal my bike and ride, diamond eyes There is something about you with a smile I'd yet to find a name for the feeling I got From words you slipped to me Did you know that I'd remember them all? I cut my hair much shorter He would take me back home You'd tell me you're sorry I was leaving the party I slept in her room in physical pain From the choices I made Those summer months You stayed with me For days at a time We'd walk to the park Watching the sky get darker You lay by my side so far from fine All of this time, keepsakes of mine All of this time Leaving behind The hardest month to stomach But I held my hands up close to the fire As everybody scattered (scattered, scattered) I kept the loss deep inside my chest When you left I felt you were the only one I needed to be known by Speaking without words Languages of seeing and being seen The feelings in the air A silence we both can read Speaking without words Languages of seeing and being seen Meet my eyes again And tell me if you read me
