Hearts Whisper

In our private language
the silence between the words
whispers from my heart to yours
and every deliberate pause
every glance away
is an I Love You
no one else can hear.

In our private language
I have learned to form sentences
from my reflection in your eyes
the hint of a smile
and the intertwining of your fingers
with mine.

In our private language
the loudest words
are the ones
hearts whisper.
