Silence

Your silence is one of the loudest sounds

I have ever heard.

It speaks to me like no other.

It tells me things I normally wouldn’t hear.

Your silence tells me you care.

Makes me feel safe.

Lets me know i never have to worry.

Shows me the love inside.

Your silence is beautiful and strong.

It is kind and compassionate.

It gives me strength.

Takes my worries away.

Your silence speaks from the heart.

It is within that silence,

That I feel empowered.

Feel whole.

Your silence when you hold me.

The sound of just your breath.

It is deafening.

The most beautiful lack of sound.

Your silence when you’re thinking.

Because I know you think of me.

Your voice not expressing.

Yet I know every thought.

Your silence as we sit together.

Just listening to the quiet.

Takes me to a place.

I never want to leave.

Your silence says you’ll never leave me.

Your smile says you’ll always love me.

The quiet speaks to my heart.

Louder than any words.

Your silence tells my heart what it needs to know.

A touch from your hand says you won’t let me fall.

Sometimes when you’re quiet,

The most is said,

When you’re saying nothing at all.

All the love, Gail
