He suddenly remembered his promise to himself. He wouldn't tell her that he loved her, he wouldn't tell her that time that was left was very little.
She innocently asked him again "what about my smile?" This time he got agitated. "I told you nothing. Why don't you just ever understand?"
She fell silent. She wished he told her what he felt. She wished to hear those words. She wished that she could tell him that the time that was left was very little.
Sometimes the unspoken words are the loudest in the life. Wouldn't it be great if you could tell every body how you felt at any given point in time?
ReplyDeleteI agree Bonnie...we often dont tell our depest feelings to the person we love the most
DeleteOh that was powerful..... Thank you for the reminder to pay attention, to open and to share, and to appreciate the time with our loved ones. My mom is visiting - and I had to stop myself from going off to "do stuff" today and just sit with her and listen to her talk.
ReplyDeleteThanks...I am happy that I could be of any help
DeleteAt times it becomes necessary to hear the golden words from loved words.
ReplyDeleteAgreed Kalpana
DeleteTime is so limited for all of us, why can't we just loosen up and live in the moment!
ReplyDeleteBhavya I wish we could...

DeleteSuch a beautifully written post!
ReplyDeleteits beautiful.... surely we all have little time and yet not speak the words...
ReplyDeleteSugandha you still haven't finished the american dream story na? When are you planning to give us the new part sweetie :)
Richa
Richa am struggling with that. It is easy to introduce the narrator but tough to build another character.
DeleteWow, it is beautiful to read the yearn to hear special words.
ReplyDeletethanks :)
DeleteLife is so uncertain and short ....its better to forgive an forget and njoy a every bit of it as if there is no tomorrow :)
ReplyDeletesigh!!
ReplyDeleteSometimes, these unsaid words can cause a lot of heart ache..
well written :)
Thanks...but sometimes each has its own reason to not say anything.
Deletewell written..short but impactful nevertheless...one shld also consider the pain the guy must be undergoing just from hiding his emotions and not letting them out..often this is overlooked..
ReplyDeleteI agree Rohit...relationships are not about blames...the person who holds back does that for other's benefit and goes through alot of pain.
DeleteAt times, silence speaks more than words. Yet time is so limited for all of us... expressing ourselves gives so much of great moments and memories with each other.
ReplyDeleteGreat write up!
I believe that no matter what the situation be, always tell them that you love them. Atleast they should know.
Deletethis piece made me emotional. Too less time and two different perspectives :( SAD
ReplyDeletewell penned Sugandha. Kudos
Thanks Afshan...
Deleteyes, the hearts understand their language but the true and clear words do a lot wonders...nicely written
ReplyDeleteTrue...Thank you
DeleteThat's a good one! Sometimes words are better left unsaid. Other times those unspoken words could have made all the difference!!
ReplyDeletehmmm...the wisdom is to decide what to do when.
DeleteHey Kalpana,
ReplyDeleteSometimes words are meant to be understood and love ur version of, Shadow of Your Smile. Many will find themselves in this one. Ive been through it when I never declare my feeling for her:)
Vishal Thanks for droping by and liking it :)
