The fear and love of silence

I was afraid of silence once. I was a kid and as a kid, I wanted noise around me. The noise of family life but often it was silent, I was alone.

I was 26 and married, never alone, I wanted silence.

I got to know her and the more time we spent the more I loved her. I then recognised her as the one who I knew as a child and I wondered why was I ever afraid. Silence was there with me yet then it showed my fears now it shows my love.
