In the quiet

In the quiet,
I see our past.
The smiles, the touches,
the looks, the laughs.
In the quiet,
I feel enough.

In the quiet,
I see you clear.
The disappointment, the silence,
the tears, the fear.
In the quiet,
I see you near.

In the quiet
you come to mind
and your changed ways
make you unkind

But in the quiet
and in my heart
it is still a softness that I find
