outside looking in

it's been a while since i last plugged my thoughts back in this realm... now im adding something i wrote mid last year...

circa julio 2004

i sit in your silence, scared.
waiting patiently for recognition.
for a word.
for a breath.
for a touch.
but i am raw.
because i watch your hands insteadof writing.
and listen to your breath insteadof breathing.
it's strange,how close to you i feel
and the need i have
to help you,to make you smile.
and yet, i'm still sitting here,
waiting,
for you to let me in.
