Bits and Pieces That Make Me: The sound of someone trying not to make a sound*

Bits and Pieces That Make Me

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. - Victor Hugo

The sound of someone trying not to make a sound*

There are times when I still want to hide.
There are times when I think I've forgotten the pain.
There are times when I feel this overwhelming need to drown in our yesterdays.
But then again, I remind myself that I want you to be happy,
Even if it’s not with me.

So then, I hide.
I force myself to forget the pain
And wallow in today.
Remembering that to love, sometimes means having to walk away.

(*Got this line from the movie The Door in the Floor.)
