For you silent coming
that echoes like a thunder,
for all you gave
but never took back,
for forgiving me being
and not being with you,
for the words you saved me from,
for the caresses you didn't,
for the strength that flew inside
when you were weak,
for the bad and good times
in your little finger,
I won't place a ring
but my burning lips.
