comedy and drama

Do you ever wonder what people aren't telling you?

What they're keeping to themselves? What they think, lonely, when you're not around? What image floats past them with you on their mind?

Do they look at you when you aren't looking back? What do they say that you don't hear? What do you say, without any intended effect, that echoes and reverberates and matters long after you don't?

When you're asleep next to him, what races through his mind?

What's in that furious silence, living between you and another person, when you're both thinking things you can't share? What do you think of him when you're alone, having conversations no one else can hear?

It's more important; what people don't say. What they can't, or don't know how to, or don't want to, because you become what's left unsaid. Who knows what anything is until after? Until it's given time to grow?

Until you look and decide that all this happened, more or less.
