She spoke in pauses, like waves between rocks

Never loud, but always there

She moved like morning light, soft across the floor

Her words were scattered feathers, I tried to gather more

She watched me from the window, eyes full of sky

I answered with a silence that only she could read

We never said the same thing twice, but somehow we still rhymed

Seabird syntax, drifting near

Echoes only we can hear

Not a language, not a code

Just the way our silence flowed

She hummed a tune I almost knew, but never dared to name

I followed like a shadow, dancing in her flame

She left notes on napkins, half a thought, half a smile

I read them like a shoreline, changing every mile

We never said the same thing twice, but somehow we still rhymed

Seabird syntax, drifting near

Echoes only we can hear

Not a language, not a code

Just the way our silence flowed

We spoke in glances, paused in time

Two voices flying in separate lines

Seabird syntax, drifting near

Echoes only we can hear

Not a language, not a code

Just the way our silence flowed

She never stayed long, but I still hear her

Every time the wind shifts...
