Silence.... my best friend

Zoul: “Love?”

Me: “Yes?”  

Zoul: “A penny….?”

 Me: “Nothing much, really"

And our conversation stopped at that. Actually, I have always been afraid of silence.   But, much as I hate it, I realized at some point in our lives, we’re bound to run out of things to say or we’re bound to not want to speak to each other for a while.
I was aware that particular period of silence was agreed by both.Even without a word, his presence alone hit the spot. It was enough to know that I was there and so was he. We didn’t  need to say anything or do anything much. We could just sit there together for hours just staring blankly into space in silence.  True that life isn’t always flowery and nice. There are times we are at the bottom of the bottom and try to the best of our abilities to crawl out of it soon possible, but we still fail, just for that period of time only. .

Then, perhaps, that gruesome moment would pass and we will be able to move on.  Silence speaks when words can’t. Silence is a true friend who never betraysIt felt nice since silence doesn’t always have to be a negative thing.So, the only way to get up after a fall is to have another best shot all one’s got. And I guess the best to do that is by keeping a comfortable distance from stress. There are times when the best messages are delivered through the comfort of a comfortable silence.
