'silhouette'
silhouette in the dark
your features outlined perfectly
you snuck in through the window
you were the night.

in the dark, it was all okay
i felt your fingertips trace my hand.

we didn't have to come forth into the light
and show them who we really were.
here, we were okay.
silence was our song.

held close, pulled closer.
no one else could possibly understand.

i prayed for the night to last
for once the sun rose,
you were no longer a silhouette in the dark
that i knew,

you were but a mere image of a stranger.
