She walks into the room to feel his presence
Then captures his face smiling back towards her.
It’s just their secret, these thoughts they share together,
Yet, in that space between guarded conversations, two hearts begin to beat as one.
With caution, his eyes send another loving glance that stays suspended in the air
Slyly now, she has the chance to take it for her own when no one else is watching.
Two trapped and lonely souls cried out to one another.
And, amidst their love-starved loneliness devotion finds the space to grow.
Their spirits hold fast to thoughts of love’s embrace.
So their fantasies are all they’ll ever own.
In the solitude of nightly prayers she softly whispers his name,
And counts each moment he is in her life as a G-d sent blessing.
Though no words aloud will every be forthcoming,
Tonight, Love’s commitment has made its silent vows.
