I feel...different. A good different. Like...I'm growing, maybe. I don't know, we'll see.

those days that we were silent, when we didn't even glance at each other, were the worst. I guess they made me more anxious to speak to you on the days you graced me with your soft smile. on those days, I made sure to really look at you, so I'd never forget.

when met with silence
and we danced all night, but it wasn't the smooth and light kind. we didn't exactly glide across the room, but I'll never forget the way your hands lingered on my shoulders, on my waist. it was like you would never let go, not even when the music stopped and the world went quiet.

rhythm of the night
there's always talk about the calm before the storm, but I think there's an eeriness about the calm after it, too. it's almost as though nothing's happened at all. almost.

too quiet
she was constantly being silenced, so it amazed her when he told her that he could listen to her speak for hours.

listen
I had always thought of myself as an artist of some sort. That is, until I met you. It was only then that I learned what art is, where it comes from. When I met you, I only wanted to paint with the browns and oranges I saw in your eyes. I only wanted to write the words that fell from your lips. I only wanted to play the notes your voice guided me to. And when you left, I couldn't paint, couldn't write, couldn't play. I could only sing of my heartache, but even that wasn't art. There's no beauty in sorrow.

the funeral (band of horses)
unfortunately, the absence of sadness isn't happiness, although we're often fooled into thinking it is.

concise
sure, maybe all suffering is temporary. but there's always something that causes suffering, isn't there? so...it really isn't all that temporary, is it? it's pretty consistent.

what depression's like
she couldn't stop wondering if she was upset because she got caught, or because she was angry at herself for being so inconsiderate. it was probably both.

guilt
i guess we were all put here to achieve enlightenment and find inner peace or whatever, but maybe we stick around because we hope to accomplish more than that.
