Odd how much it hurts when a friend moves away- and leaves behind only silence.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The correction of silence is what kills; when you know you have transgressed, and your friend says nothing, and avoids your eye.
Sometimes friends move apart from each other for whatever reason.
Somewhere we know that without silence words lose their meaning, that without listening speaking no longer heals, that without distance closeness cannot cure.
As soon as you try to describe a close friendship, it loses something.
Silence is also conversation.
The heart may think it knows better: the senses know that absence blots people out. We really have no absent friends.
Lots of people aren't comfortable with silences. They feel they've got to fill the dead air.
Friendship needs no words - it is solitude delivered from the anguish of loneliness.
Silence is a true friend who never betrays.
Silences make the real conversations between friends. Not the saying but the never needing to say is what counts.
