it isn't important
the innocent way flowers open their petals
and my hand slips into yours just as easily
but it isn't important
I shouldn't mention that you're the only beauty I know
that clouds change form and expand
like my love for you
both are lost in a thickness of unspeakable blue
but that isn't important
the times when it's completely silent
except for your delicate breathing
and I wish we could stay that way forever
but it's not important enough to mention
so I won't
