“If Words Were Water” by Ericka Williamson

If word were water we'd be swimming through the sea
But no words can express what you are to me;
So I'd like to sit in a silence, more expressive than my voice
You and I together without words unnecessary noise.

If language were liquid among the ocean we would drift
But no language can explain how your love is like a gift;
So just for a moment, let's not make a sound
Our hearts beating together will fill the silence that surrounds.

Lying in the calm with our arms and legs entwined,
We'll find a tranquility that words cannot define.
