When Words Were Waiting

(Tone: soft, thoughtful, emotionally resonant)

(gentle pause)
There were lifetimes…
between us.

Not just years —
but entire seasons
of silence.

And then,
one day,
you stood before me again.

So close,
so real —
and I…
I couldn’t speak.

Not yet.

Because maybe…
just maybe,
my eyes needed
to finish
what my voice
never could.

I looked at you…
and kept looking.

Not to question —
but to remember.
To drink you in
like time owed.

And as I did,
something inside me waited —
waited for the ache to settle,
for the hunger to soften.

Only then
would the tongue
dare break
its long-held silence.

(beat)

When I finally spoke,
it wasn’t to explain.
It was just to hear you answer —
just to feel the warmth
of your voice
find mine again.

We shared regrets
in half-sentences,
but the forgiveness —
that came without words.

Because some silences
are not empty.
Some silences…
are full.

And when our silences met —
they didn’t echo.

They understood.

(soft smile)

Now,
we don’t need to speak.

We sit beside each other
in quiet.

You sip your tea.
I read a page.
Our hands touch
like old music
that needs no chorus.

This —
this is what love becomes.

Not the fire.
Not the flood.
But the stillness
that remains
when everything else
has passed.

(gentle close)
You and I —
no longer a story told.
Just a truth
felt.

Not in the saying…
but in the being.
