A HEART CAUGHT IN THE THOUGHT WAVES OF LOVERS

A HEART CAUGHT IN THE THOUGHT WAVES OF LOVERS

My heart got caught between your thoughts,
somewhere between your love and mine,
where every word we never spoke
kept circling back through borrowed time.

Your thoughts came rushing into mine,
like waves that never reached the shore,
I tried to push them from my head,
they only came back wanting more.

There were colours running through us,
red for love and blue for pain,
yellow for the days we laughed,
black for when you left again.

I heard your voice inside the silence,
though you were nowhere near my side,
funny how a heart remembers,
everything the mind can hide.

We were lovers caught in thinking,
both afraid to say too much,
building oceans out of questions,
when all we really needed was touch.

My heart was beating through the colours,
trying hard to find its way,
through all the twisted thoughts between us,
and the things we couldn’t say.

Perhaps you thought that I had left you,
perhaps I thought you’d stopped loving me,
two foolish hearts upon an ocean,
both too frightened just to see.

And still those thought waves kept on coming,
some were gentle, some were wild,
some took me back to when you held me,
and I loved you like a child.

Love isn’t quiet when it’s hurting,
it screams in colours through your head,
it brings alive forgotten moments,
and wakes the words you thought were dead.

So if you ever think about me,
somewhere underneath your sky,
perhaps you’ll feel my heart still moving,
through the thoughts that won’t pass by.

For lovers never really leave us,
not the ones who touched us deep,
they live amongst the waves of memory,
they visit when the world sleeps.

And there my heart remains between them,
red and beating, bruised but true,
caught forever in the thought waves,
that still keep carrying me to you. ❤️
