In Silence

If there are things still left unspoken, what would those words be? If there are thoughts still left unheard, what would those be?

There was a strange feeling when I pushed the SEND button. I thought that maybe it wouldn't hurt to send a greeting on a special day. Though every part of me relentlessly urged me not to push the button, I still did. What's left of my humanity told me to do so. I never expected a hint-of-a-promise-of a reply..until my phone sounded.

I guess a reply was enough, then a second came, and I thought it was too much. Silence was my reply, even until now. So many times in my life that I gave in to what my heart desired, until that very moment that I hesitated to reply.

Fact is, if there are words left unspoken until now, I utter them...in silence.
