Analysis of whole
we have run out of things to say
still I do not want to leave
so please just let me stay
and listen to you breathe
listen to you think
listen to you feel
feel you listen to me
until the words come again
have you ever been in love
when was your first kiss
have you ever felt this much
never felt like this
laying still in the darkness
soul meeting soul
becoming vulnerable
becoming whole
