Here’s a poem written by Vicky, the seventeen-year-old protagonist in the novel I am currently working on.<\/p>\n
The Language of Love<\/p>\n
Love is that quiet thing that slides in on socked feet,
\nAnd doesn’t say I’m here.
\nOr love is that whispered word not perfectly heard,
\nLike in a game of telephone.
\nSometimes I think that to be sure and true,
\nTo love must always be past tense,
\nWhen at the end you sigh,
\nI loved you. Every second of my life with you. I loved you.
\nAnd maybe silence is the soil of love,
\nWhere it can dig deep roots,
\nAnd speak only when it blooms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
