"With Love"

As she fingered her secrets through my head,
Hiding them not in my memories but in the hair that guards them,
I Slept. 
But not before answering with my own truths, 
Tapped out on the floor with the rhythm of my feet
Morse Code..
Not a word uttered.
Just Communication. 

And even in the silence of a dreamless sleep she wrote them.
Inscribing in the keratin canvas the fears and joys I haven't been told. 
Concealing them.
Close enough to feel but too far to read. 
She wrote them there.

For I had long run out of words to read to her.

I awoke, and she closed her remarks
"With Love,"
