In an effort for people to listen better and more often, the goverment put a ban on speaking for one year (7 & under could talk). I point to the menu in the cafe, correspond by letter and email more often. I learned to cry soundlessly. I learned to look into people's eyes to understand their emotions, better than words could ever describe.I think i have done well. I walked to my lover's house. We embraced, then we just held each other. Held each other and mouthed "I love you" to each other until our year was up.
Reason for writing:
I kinda ripped it off of another poem, but mine really is an original, i just used the basic storyline.
