Beautiful Silence

as the night slowly passes away
as the cold wind brushes against my skin
i feel secure
i feel safe

it is beautiful. how silence can be beautiful and scary at the same time..
for someone like me who doesn't like to be alone, who hates silence..
i find myself accepting silence in grace.

it can be beautiful.
when you've been in a crowd too much and too often.

i like the silence tonight...
just me and my thoughts.

and somewhere in the corner of my mind,
i find peace.
i find happiness.
i find excitement.
i find joy.
i find pleasure.

i find you.
you're there. always there. no matter how bad the day is, how weak i am, how sad the things around me make me, i still find you...

there. right there inside of me, giving me your support and that great distracting smile of yours.

so beautiful. so lovely. and so silent.
