...silence...

Sometimes all I need is someone to listen. No words. No sound. No anything audible. Sometimes when I want to vent out the enormous pressure that has built up inside my chest, the mouth is the only functioning appendage in my body, spewing words as they come from my thoughts. They need no response. They need no reply. Words of admonition or even praise hold no meaning at this time. Silence. That would be the best retort. Much like a volcano erupting, and man can only watch in awe from afar with cautious reflexes, I am only needing your patience.

These are the times there’s nothing you can say or do to make me feel better. Only when the gush of emotions have subsided inside me will I be fine. No amount of your language can provide any effective consequence.

I just need you to be there. Listening to me. Understanding me. Loving me. All in silence.
