Words

Quotes from the novels I held dear,
lyrics of that song,
the forgotten poetry,
confessions in the dark,
lies in the light - all nothing but words..
I blankly stare at them to make sense of what I read,
Pin my ear to the phone wondering how convoluted the art of perceiving is..

What do I really read?
What is that I hear ?

"I love you !"
...After a long pause
"I love you too"

Silence often holds more truth, yet we cling to the words !
