A Bicycle Built For Two <br />=========================== <br /> <br />I Speak Personal... <br />Where A Gesture Speaks Volumes. <br /> <br />Its Best To Love The One You're With, <br />And Not Love The One You Don't. <br /> <br />Through Thick And Thin, <br />The One You're With Will Stand By You. <br /> <br />Through Thin And Shallow, <br />Everyone Else Will Falter Beside. <br /> <br />The Not So Quiet Are Disavowed, <br />As The Quiet Times Are Important. <br /> <br />Louder Than Words Hollow, <br />Its In Quiet Where A Gesture Speaks. <br /> <br />A Word Unsaid Can Hurt, <br />Gestures Left Not Done Hurts More. <br /> <br />While The Spoken Word, <br />Would Have Been Better Off Silent. <br /> <br />For Far Too Many Gestures Left Undone, <br />Left The Women I've Loved In Silence. <br /> <br />Where A Silent Gesture Of Reaching Out, <br />Would Have Sufficed. <br /> <br />An Arm Around Her Neck, <br />Or A Rub Between The Shoulders. <br /> <br />A Gesture Of Reaching Out, <br />Would Have Led To A Spoken Word Exchanged. <br /> <br />While A Stare Of Two Pairs Of Eyes Locked, <br />In What Little I Could Have Spoken. <br /> <br />Leaving Both Parties Hurt, <br />With Many Gestures Left Unmade. <br /> <br />As Prolongs The Longing, <br />The Silent Stare Does Not Fulfill. <br /> <br />The Silent Stare Of Two Souls Locked, <br />With Eyes As Windows To A Soul Loved. <br /> <br />Raises Expectations Of The Love That Could, <br />Fore Without That Gesture Comes Heart Break. <br /> <br />Two Love Sick Kids Longing To Become Adults, <br />In Union Of Souls In Wedlock.<br /><br />Ricardo Antunes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-bicycle-built-for-two-2/
