50% of marriage is made out of silence. Sometimes it's too quiet to notice, though. And we become so used to it That any sign of my spouses voice almost offends me. And I love you too much to let you know what I'm thinking. You ask me countless times, Like clockwork, "What are you thinking?" And just as consistantly I answer without giving you a hint. "I was thinking that I love you." Begging you to continue the silence. I forget the reason why it became so **** quiet... All I know is that it's better this way. And when we're infront of our friends and family We silently agree to act as if we were still best friends... As if we knew every secret and more. Then we return home and close the door And turn each other on mute. Like phatoms chained to a ball of non commital noise. Sometimes I think my ,"I do" was the last honest thing I said to you.
