I don't understand why
Everyone is always talking.
Sometimes saying nothing
Is a way of saying it all.
It's seriously easy
To just stand next to someone
In silence
And let unspoken thoughts
Travel between you and them.
It's calming and relaxing and genuine.
It makes you feel a connection
With another person
That you cannot achieve
Only using words.

You don't have to make fun
Of something or someone
Just because everything is quiet.
Sometimes silence is not meant to be filled
Instead it is meant to be embraced
And welcomed in.
We all talk too much.
We are so self-centered.
More often than not, we should just
Keep our thoughts inside our head
And let the silence spill into the air.
Shhhh.
Think a little more
Talk a little less.
