Don't Speak

Someone once said, ~You don't have to love in words: even through silence, love is heard.~ If you think about it, when it comes to matters of the heart there are moments of unspoken silence shared with a certain special someone that are truly cherished. For its those particular moments of shared silence where there is this a feeling of a strong sense of comforting ease letting you and your potential/significant other know there isn't a need to say anything to each other. A touching smile, a soulful gaze, a soft caress of the hand, a meaningful kiss, etc. are just a number of ways a person shows how much he/she genuinely and honestly cares about you. Essentially, it's a type of love only a handful of people who are truly in love understand as they can hear it loud and clear within their heart.

Without a doubt, so much can be said from one heart to another without uttering a single word. Its an amazing situation indeed to witness couples married for 40, 50, 60 years sitting together and the husband expresses his love towards his beloved wife/best friend in absolute total silence. I think it would be safe to say every young couple strives to have that sense of contentment where you for all intents and purposes embrace the tranquil silence and not let the noisy surroundings become a distraction. Thinking about it, it's difficult for any young couple these days to be in a place of such a heightened state of awareness where you're so emotionally, mentally, and spiritually in tune, so to speak, with each other the love you share goes beyond what words can say.

As said before, there are moments that are cherished in matters of heartfelt silence where you let the surroundings speak for the both of you giving way to the possibilities of an unforgettable, romantic memory. For those who are in potential and/or significant relationships can you remember a specific moment you still continue to cherish in your heart such as sitting together quietly on the beach watching the sun slowly set off in the distant horizon or simply taking a walk hand in had on a particular nature trail leading to a breathtaking scenic view? You see, it's those two special moments and others like it in which you're given the opportunity to say in words how you feel but instead let it be said in a look, a smile, a kiss, and/or an embrace.

Let me ask you this question ladies and gentlemen, how many of you have ever experienced a moment where someone looked you in the eyes and you could feel him/her staring into your very soul to the point where the whole world goes completely quiet? To be perfectly honest, it's rare these days for any person to meet someone who can look not just into your eyes, but look into your heart as well to where he/she sees the remarkable person you undeniably are without opening his/her mouth to speak to you. Every person has experienced or is currently experiencing a feeling like anything you've never felt before as the unspoken care/love being shown to you leaves you speechless, which causes you to become scared and yet it's a good kind of scared.

William Shakespeare said, ~The silence often of pure innocence persuades when speaking fails.~ In retrospect, it's definitely hard to put into words the love one has within his/her heart for another, which is why there are so many countless acts of stupidity in the name of it. Oftentimes, it makes you doubt as to whether or not opening your mouth to say what is in your heart worth it. However, you can't deny the fact there is something powerful in the pure innocence of love or true love for that matter that can't be hidden as a person's true feelings are revealed and seen clear as day in that person's body language. In the end, it's the special moments in a relationship where you don't speak are the most cherished in a relationship and will be remembered as they speak volumes for years to come.
