Hush the Chaos of My Heart
i let you go without a word
i had you here within my sphere
so close that i could catch and hold
your breath exhaled into the night
i had you in my arms
if only for an instant
or was it really just a dream
i thought i held you to my heart
but i truly don't recall
if you said anything at all
and so i let you walk away
