Dear Ben, I dreamt once that I lost you,
We were drifting on icebergs
I don't remember if I was floating away
Or if you were floating away from me
But I remember waking up in panic,
In the dark of night, it was raining
– Like tonight. And you were sleeping right beside me,
Hearing you breathing calmed me down
Dear Ben, I don't know how or when I unlearned
Our secret language, I just know that at some point,
In your silence, I could no longer hear what I had heard
Now I'm left with words, useless words
But I remember waking up in panic,
In the dark of night, it was raining
– Like tonight. And you were sleeping right beside me,
Hearing you breathing calmed me down
