There are so many things I'm not allowed to say. I can't speak them because I know no one wants to hear them. I know I wouldn't if the roles were reversed. So the words just stay trapped somewhere in the back of my brain.
I wonder if there are any words trapped inside your head. You were always better at silence than I am. You mastered the craft of showing instead of telling. I knew you hated coffee before you ever told me. I could tell you cared for me the minute you wrapped your arms around me after I'd fallen off a bike.
I liked your unspoken words, they never hurt as much as the spoken ones.
