silence

people can't ever stay contented for long. you'll feel so satisfied, like the cat who got the cream. and the next moment, you find your satisfaction fading away and you start to want even more cream. it's never ever enough. i hate cats.

've gotten a little weary of forced laughter and smiles. where's the friend who could sit by me for hours and let silence reigned. i still remember, albeit distantly, the feel of the wind blowing against my face. as we tried to look as far as we could.

my social skills have taken a nosedive in recent weeks.
i guess i've been missing the silence that used to be found so easily.

people demand too much. each person just wants a little. but it gets suffocating sometimes. and you wonder if you could survive alone. yet at the back of your mind, behind that black curtain where you hide all your annoying sensibilities, you know that you can't. that looming loneliness will swallow you whole some day.
i need people around me. yet i don't. i would like to remain in the shadows. yet i'd like to be the center of his universe. i like the thumping beat of that song. but i love the silence too.

will you sit with me just for awhile.
