Amazing things they are. Words have the power to make or break a relationship. Sometimes there is a struggle to find the ‘right’ word to convey something.
I’ve had times when I just wanted to splurge the other person with words, a lot of words to express how I feel. But something stops me from doing so. It’s like I am not sure whether the words will do justice to convey exactly how I am feeling.
Losing self in words is something I am wary off. Reading into something too much. Clinging to the heartbreaking words that were said. It’s one thing to lose one self in books. It happens to me all the time. Losing myself in someone else’s words also happen. The hardest part is feeling exactly what they want me to feel.
Living as we do, it is not always possible to meet up with a lot of people all the time. There are things that could be better expressed by just holding hands, or a hug, a smile or just eye contact.
Until the time arrives…only words will have to do.
As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words. ~William Shakespeare
