You sit with someone, and there’s so much you want to say, but the words feel too heavy to push past your lips. It is because you don’t know how? or because you’re afraid of what will come next.
It’s funny how silence can be louder than any scream. How two people can sit in the same room, breathing the same air, carrying words that never touch the space between them. It’s not just about what you don’t say — it’s about what you wish you could.
Maybe it’s the ‘I miss you’ that gets swallowed before it can break the surface. Maybe it’s the ‘I need help’ that dies in your throat because asking feels like admitting defeat. Or maybe it’s the ‘I love you’ that you hold back because once it’s out there, there’s no taking it back.
We convince ourselves there will be another time. Another conversation. Another chance. But life doesn’t work like that. Time moves forward, dragging us along, and suddenly, what could have been said is now just a ghost of a moment that never happened.
The weight of unspoken words doesn’t disappear — it lingers, settles in your bones, makes a home in your regrets. And one day, you realize: the worst conversations aren’t the ones that ended badly. They’re the ones that never even began.
So, say it. Whatever it is. Even if your voice shakes. Even if it doesn’t come out perfect. Because silence is only golden until it turns into chains.
