3.  All the Words I Never Said

I guess I’m not so sad anymore

which makes me a little bit sadder

because of all the dreams I never let

die finally passed away.

They were beautiful, soft, and warm

in my hand and loved without

realizing conditions are the currency

with which the world

invests.

But they had no use for cheap

thrills, and short-lived wins,

and instead found me to be worth

more than anything the world

could provide.

And what beautiful, soft, and warm

glimpses of You in the every day

small things, even down

to their deaths

and the way their eyes

penetrated something much deeper

than all the words I never said.
