10.31.13: Silence


They say silence is comfortable. They say that you have to be comfortable with the silence. And they also say that if you are comfortable with that silence that it means that you’re comfortable with that person.
But I don’t believe that’s the case. I believe there’s another type of silence. It’s not quite awkward but it’s not comfortable either. It’s the silence that makes you think. It’s the “what is the other person thinking” kind of silence. And it’s awkward and comfortable and strange all at once.
You’re not really sure what to make of it because neither of you are speaking but you’ve been in this situation before. So you just stare out the window, hoping something interesting might pass you by.
