you must have noticed
you do not have to understand the other
in order to really love
for it is just a matter of being near
and then touch and be touched in return
feeling
hearing the beatings of the heart
like listening to a song
played from afar
the lyrics sounding like faded fabrics
the music still
playing too well in the corners of our ears
