Sitting in Silence

I could sit hours upon hours with you,


listening to you talk about anything and everything that could possibly pop into your perfect little head.


The past, present, future, your family, your friends, your dreams.


I'd listen to you talk about all the things that make you cringed, or cry, or smoke from the ears.


I'd listen to you complain about the economy, the weather, or all the flaws you see in yourself though I see you as flawless.
And if for some reason,


through all your hours of talking, 


your mind goes blank,


and you run out of things to say,


I could sit hours upon hours with you,


being completely content listening to the silence that surrounds you and me.
