Come to me in silence

Come in silence
When you come to me in the night.
Don't turn on the light.
Say not a word
Lest it's heard
By you or by me.
Just be free for a few moments.
To touch, and to feel
And to feel needed.
And wanted.
Enchanted !
Lost, for a while
In poetic passion,
A brief respite
From the strife
Of life.
So, Come  in silence,
When you come to me in the night.
And just hold me.
It'll be alright.
