Tied together …by a tender

“You and I, secretly bound,
tied together …by a tender…”

From the first rays of morning light,
that touched our eyes so softly bright,
a bond was born…pure, quiet, right.

It curled deep within the heart,
never fully stepped into the light,
never fit into any spoken part.

No words exchanged,
yet something was felt…
silent, warm, unseen, but dwelt.

She’s far away, yet close as breath,
sweetness of her memory
lingers even in depths.

Her laughter still echoes
in the chambers of my heart,
her silence… like a knock
that never stays apart.

Many times I wished to say it all,
yet felt staying quiet
was gentler after all.

In the little world within my mind,
a temple of memories
began to unwind.

Deeper than love itself,
no, this isn’t “just friendship” alone…

someone tell me what this is,
a miracle of nature,
or a tale destiny has sown…

Something unstated, yet profound,
a comfort felt most truly around.

Just one glance once said it all….
without a word,
we understood every quiet call.

No promises made,
no oaths to keep,
yet when our eyes began to speak,
the heart wrote a story
tender, pure, and deep….
