I watch in silence as he laughs with his friends, his blue eyes crinkling at the edges. I look away in silence as he flirts with my best friend and she giggles. I hold his hand in silence when he hurts at her jealous rejection, although I am secretly pleased. I cannot tell him what I wish to, that I care for him more than he will ever know. Silence is my curse in this world and my heart will break a little more every day that I am with him, for I cannot make him understand how I feel.
