They say that silence is golden,
I agree, when it is around you.
Just quietly comfortable holding,
No words needed between us two.
As you sit and you read your book,
And I play my gaming device.
You snuggle up into my nook,
And I think, āwell, isnāt this nice.ā
The kids asleep in their beds,
And the fire crackles gently.
But alas, this is all in my head,
A fiction that only I see.
The laughter ...
