A thought like lingering twilight

Every word you say
Means so much to me
Yet sometimes I seem to run out of time
To reply to them
But only because I am scared
Of being unfair to you

My thoughts are soundless
I appreciate when you still hear them
They are clumsy and confused
Yet farthest away
From how I feel about you

You make me open the doorway of my heart
My thoughts a little clearer for you
An unspoken interaction of the eyes and the mind

A lingering twilight
Illuminating the flower
Captured in its perpetuity
A moment that becomes eternity
And clears up the sky
