Comfortable Silence; ""... i can't be myself, i can't be myself and i don't wanna talk"

... awkward silences define my life.

So two people in a room, exactly alike, face each other... what you usually get is silence. Is this right? I like to think so. The two of them should just nod their head as a sign of agreement and that should be enough. Isn't that the best sort of conversation? The ones we never really had? The ones we imagine in our heads to have occured but hasn't really happened? Yeah, those are the most powerful.

Silence lingers in the air, unsaid thoughts intertwine one another, colliding without a sound... you smile, she smiles, I smile. Audible words are seemingly difficult to find.

You can't truly confirm that you "know" a person unless you've shared an awkward silence together and found it refreshing. I find every awkward silence refreshing, it's not at all awkward. It solidifies my belief in everything happening for a reason.

Conundrum.

Damn, Elliot Smith's "Needle in the Hay" just came on. Damn good song.
It would make the best soundtrack to an awkward silence.
Next time I'll have this playing in the background when we have another silent conversation.
