Between a Laugh and Silence

Between a laugh and silence

I sighed 

I sighed because it was comforting

It meant reassurance

Of something that was never a disappointment

That was our strength

That felt right 

That meant us

 

Between a laugh and silence

I sighed

I sighed because I wanted to hold on to that moment

I wanted to look past our flaws

I wanted to feel your warmth 

I wanted to sleep in your arms

 

Between a laugh and silence

I sighed

I sighed because that was the best thing to do

It encompassed my untold sentiments  

It echoed your wintriness

And our entire story… in a sigh
