I used to believe that there's nothing as jarring as the noise of a smothered weep or the silence that follows it

When your words betray your eyes,
When you laughter dismisses the idea of goodbye!
When your tears outweigh any other considerations ..
When your miscalculations forget to spare my patience..
When your absence comes posing as an agonising instance,
When your silence refuses to take a certain solid stance.
When your inquisitiveness glistens in it's own curious light,
When your calm holds my implausible fright.
When your dilemma frightens me to a fault!
When the thought of your withdrawal leaves me cold!
When you hold your promises as steadfastly as you can,
When you revert to me, without considering the expense, 
is when I know, this is how it is,
To smile and to be smiled on..
To hear and to be heard.
To hold and to be held..
To love and to be loved!
