I Loved You Once in Silence

I loved you once in silence
No words spoken
Only messages exchanged
Quickly
Continuously
Successively

The silence all around
The noise only in my head
I can hear your voice
In every word
Every laugh
Every sigh

A constant virtual presence
Keeping me grounded
Unable to drift to reality
Giving me peace
Tranquility
Sanity

Right now you're gone
In a distant land
Cut off from me
I still love you
Miss you
Choose you

The silence is swallowing me
Your voice but a whisper
Only in my memory
Longing to see you
Hold you
Touch you

Soon you will return
I can't wait for that day
I will be free of the silence

Although I loved you once in the silence
I loved you even more when you set me free

Hurry back and release me
