Now I Get It

I never thought I would understand

These moments of silence

Observed as a child

Shared between my parents

One reading a book

One watching the television

No words

No looks

I never thought I would desire

These moments of silence

Following dinner

In the hours before bedtime

One on the right

One on the left

Of the couch

Space between

I never thought I would discover

The closeness of these moments

The togetherness

The being alone together

You by my side

And the comfort

Of silence

The realness of love
