The times when we can talk and share everything are the easiest ones to tackle,
the times when we are so overwhelmed that our tongue curls, our words fall

short, and our emotions zip our lips are the times when we require someone to

just look at us and know our emotions through any façade. These are the people

who know us better than anyone else, these are the people who have seen our
souls bare and they understand what we think, what we believe and what we do.

We remember the conversations we had and the words that were spoken, but

these words alienate people and sometimes bring them together in very unlikely
ways. Words communicate, but do they have that much importance? Do we

really have a relationship because of the words we

said, but I remember a hundred people walking
away because of something they said to each other. The

sentences we speak in extreme situations are just

the voices venting out our agitated emotions and

they aren’t always the things we truly believe in whereas,
when we don’t just vent it out the true emotions could be

felt.When there is total silence and two people

simply feel with each other, these silences make the

strongest promises. When no conversation is forced and the fragrances of their
individuality are blended together then what comes out of it is a connection

that is beyond any language, any boundary and is purely out of understanding.

Such connections make us who we are, be it our mother who heard us even
when we couldn’t talk, be it our father who never needed a word to understand

our needs, be it our teachers who understood our fears and barriers without a

letter to them or be it our friends who understand our actions and reactions to
anything without huge explanations.

These are ‘the yellow people’ in our lives and it's just for them that we're willing

to go through hell with a smile. So, as I walk down the aisle of adulthood, I say ‘I

do’ to them and cherish these few people gifted to me.
"Words may find us a friend but silences can find us a family"
