~~~...I have heard it before...~~~

there is something in your voice.

i have heard it before.

in the raindrops on the roof,
in the call of a bird at dawn.
that something which melts
the rough and strong walls
put up by my heart in despair.
that something, it might be
so many good things.
maybe it's joy itself
or sadness, concealed
in a shroud of happiness.
because i have only known
a sombre melancholy as
sweet as your voice.
you know, it might not be
any of those beautiful things.
maybe its just love,
pure and raw.  at least,
i like to think that way.

there is something in your voice.

i have heard it before.
