The sound of silence

Two people. Millions of sparks in their eyes.
A board on the wall with their dreams. She didn't like to talk. He knew, actions spoke louder than words. Who needs words if they're fake? ("Words are meaningless and forgettable...words are very unnecessary...they can only do harm..."). What do you want to say by "hi, how are you?" That you're polite? Or so interested in somebody's life? Why not just give that person a small gift, your smile, your care? That's what makes us warm.

246 days since their eyes met. He never told her he loved her. But every day he left a cup of flat white that she loved. Every week she found a new book with flowers. Every month they were exploring a new city and themselves. Every happy moment they shared was the quietest moment.

They had nothing in common with people who promised each other to "love forever". Do you really think these words could keep you together until "death do you apart"? He never proposed. He knew she'd say "yes". What does "yes" mean? Isn't it just one of the words in Webster dictionary? Do we want to hear that one syllable word? Or do we need the best friend to laugh with, to bring us medicine when we're sick, be with us when the whole world doesn't understand us, feel us, and forgive us when we're demons?

To show your friends that you're not a bitch nobody wants? That you're not single any more? Or that you finally got Victoria Secret on Valentines Day?.... Who told you your life would become an endless holiday because of the other person (who is supposed to make you happy)? Go to Africa, serve clean water to children and look at their faces. That's what happiness is. Visit a hospital during Christmas instead of complaining on your life. Looking for a special present? You won't buy holiday spirit and magic at Macy's. Miracle will happen when you stop arguying, lying, being jealous, and blaming others.
Be grateful. Be peaceful. Be the light for the needed. To save your soul, whisper the prayers, to save somebody's life – the words of encouragement. Other times, speak less, and GIVE love. We all need it.
