Love

(by Behnam Mohtaramy )

The sounds were music from the heart
And your gaze… a song I believed in
long before I ever heard it.

My heart trembled—
not from fear,
not from doubt,
but from something like
the sudden discovery of love.

You were there—
the moon framed in the window,
a hidden breeze,
and I—
caught in the silence of all I never said.

Words faded.
My heart turned to your eyes,
to the trembling of hands,
to a silence that became poetry between us.

Somewhere between a word and a kiss,
we never said “I love you”
but we heard it—clearly,
without sound.

We left words behind.
Only the embrace remained—
warm, honest, without reason or need.

And in that embrace,
came a soft sound,
a hush, a hum,
like a lullaby
not from the lips
but from the rhythm of the heart.

A calm settled between us—
not from ending,
but from the beginning
of truly knowing one another.

And now…
this simplicity,
this being with you,
is what I live forever to feel.
