Duet

your fingers dance across the notes
resting gently on the keys and then pressing
hands moving, fluttering
hearts swell.

Our voices harmonize to the lyrics,
adding depth to music that swims in open oceans
the love that we search for
the memories that aren't ours.

Look at me. over the gloss of the piano,
eyes find eyes find secrets
the words we sing become truths
that we can't hide

suddenly we're grateful for the space
between us, around us. the bench
that separates us from a crescendo
Look away. smile softly. savor the bridge,
because the song is almost over.

and then there's silence.

-Divya
