Cherished silence

"Cherished silence"

I believe that "I love you's" are sacred,
that holding hands is a gift,
and having a heart is a burden.
Smiles are accomplishments,
tears are my feelings,
and awkward silences should be cherished.
I believe people are addictions,
and bad habits are learned with good intent.
Maybe I love you all wrong.
