You appeared out of nowhere
like a burst of light.
When I held your gaze
the noise died down.
The noise of missed calls.
Noise of empty words.
Noise of shutters closing
at daylight.
And you know nothing about me
and I know nothing about you.
You don't know what I want.
You don't know how I think.
If it's only me or if we're a thousand.
You don't know whom I sleep with.
You appeared out of nowhere
like a burst of light.
When I held your gaze
the noise died down.
Noise.
If I'm from the southern hemisphere
or if I came from the north.
If I'm plummeting
or staying afloat.
You don't know what to expect from me
nor how to pronounce my name.
You appeared out of nowhere
like a burst of light.
When I held your gaze
the noise died down.
Now time is relative.
It stands still for us both.
You and I have survived
so much noise.
Noise.
