A moment in the sun

Living in my head
To survive the outside of it
I found out, today,
Has become so much a part of me
That I forgot it
Until you sat beside me
And I felt you breathing
So I felt my own breathing
And then there was this body
Next to my body
Absorbing sunlight through a window
I forgot was behind me
As you so ironically (and beautifully) told me
To stop filling the outside spaces
With words
Because I was missing the moment
Of the calm
Of the rare quiet
Of the gift
Of two people in a room
In the sun.
