Words of silence



 

    First of all, its wanting to speak but being shut down, like if everyone can hear you from miles away but don’t even give a glance. It's something you don’t want to feel but it's meant to be felt. That feeling that wants to be felt is love. If there was no love in this world we wouldn’t be hopeless romantics. If there wasn't such thing as love then you wouldn’t have those weird butterflies in your stomach that people say that are in us but to be honest i feel like we're the butterflies because they just want to bloom but are too afraid to come out of our shells. That feeling is the one when i see him. That feeling I get when he says my name. That feeling when he stares. That feeling is when he stares but then turns away and acts like nothing ever happened like if that feeling was not mutual. That feeling, of love is something that is demanding you to express yourself in a different way.

For example, by drawing, by singing, by screaming, by crying, by laughing, by telling yourself that it's gonna be alright but the one you love is loving someone right in front of you. i got too wrapped up in you that i forgot how to  to spread my wings to fly and bloom.
