The Day The World Stopped






















No one moved.

Someone was throwing a can away when it happened and the can just hung in the air. A man was getting into his car, turning the radio on. A shopping bag was stuck in midswing, carried by a frozen shopper. Birds in the sky just stayed where they were. And then, you turned to me and said

"Now we can be alone."

    And you don't have to say anything. Because the silence that would then follow will be louder than any storm..

    If only this would actually happen when we needed to be alone.
    It seems as though nowadays, everybody seems to be crowding us at the wrong moment.
    Beautiful post, as always :)

    Shame on those who interrupted. The world remained real and raw and continued turning despite world wide manipulation. Theres no doll here except yours. Not fake like the others. Im waiting for the clock to start ticking again and now it could be just you and I.

    that last sentence absolutly made the post. didnt expect it.
    your writing is like that though, full of depth and thought. they're tidbits of writing that provoke the mind to expand and touch on feelings the move us.
