But come to find the beauty of unsaid things, it's mesmerizing. A wholesome

smile from a person in the crowd gives the confidence of survival among the
strange. That moment of you holding back tears, identified by someone, while

you are reluctant to have that petty eye-contact with them, but ultimately you

do and you don't regret it because now you know that someone has your back,

is nothing but love, and that too way above all its literal definitions. 'Speaking
with eyes', is the supreme topic for poets and romantics all over the world for

ages, but doesn't it deserve to be? Still, no literary piece is even close to what

that moment made you feel.

A habit I did develop in my childhood days

I wouldn’t wake up at all. Alarms, noise, disturbances were all useless ways

I could only wake up to the most silent of methods
When my mom would kiss me tenderly on my eyelids with no exchange of words

Only then, would I know that the day awaits me;

And my mom loves me.

Silence, the most versatile of the words that the world has ever seen, is only

versatile when expressed and not used in literary context. Silence in itself is a

very co-dependent concept with the situation. Every time one feels silence, its

motive will come out to be different, which is so not its dictionary meaning.
The humbleness, the love, the emotions, the grudge, the anger, the distress and

so many other incomparable expressions can be expressed and understood

way more precisely than words can ever do. So, are unsaid things this intensely

powerful? Even more than the most dynamic thing that has ever existed,
language? A question to be answered probably without words.
