Stunning, it’s like some unknown silently watching you and it speaks 1000 words; It’s this kind of love where we silently express but don’t loudly tell the person we love how we feel. It can be very painful holding it in. I think we should always strive to loudly express our deepest feelings to each other no matter the circumstances.
