When there are no words...

The thing I love about music is how it often says what we are thinking or feeling when we can't express it ourselves. Sometimes, instrumental music captures my thoughts and emotions much better than I could ever with the thousands of words that I know.

But sometimes the music is not around to convey what is on your heart and mind.

Sometimes, there is just silence. And you wish you could say something profound, meaningful, or sympathetic, but all you have is silence. Silence when the words "I love you" are appreciated, but not don't help the situation. When, "That sucks" just isn't enough. Silence. It is a frightening thing. Silence so often is related to loneliness and fear. When you are alone in your house and you hear something and then, silence. The fear sets in.

But no matter if there is music or silence, joy or pain, it is always important to let it be known that you are there and that you care.

I love you.
