maybe we believed
that hands were enough
to reach each other

maybe we believed
that the one who had felt
most fingertips against his skin
most tongues against his lips
most beds against his back
was the least lonely of us

maybe we believed
that the importance of words
could be completely neglected

maybe we believed
that we even could
kill the ice with silence

or maybe we just pretended
because so many fears
had moved in
in us

did we really believe
that we didn't need
words
to touch each other?
