“A new kind of pain. A new kind of love. A new kind of silence. A new kind of excitement. This time I hope the pain is unbearable, so we don’t ever think of parting. This time I hope this love is not the butterfly kind, the type of love that makes you too nervous to say the truth and too worried to do what you want. This time I hope the silence is as comfortable as breathing, and maybe, even more, I hope we won’t try to fill every minute with words. I hope we are content with the silence, the pain, and the love. This time I hope our eyes linger on each other a bit more to realize what my lips can’t say. This time I hope my tongue doesn’t feel monotonic when I say I love you. This time I hope my heart never gets to see your back walking away from me.
