Want to say something,
But, don't know what.
Have it in my mind,
But, how to convert it into words.
How?
All i have is silence.

Have those feelings in my viens,
But, how do i show 'em.
The time went so quick,
Even though i spent it fully,
feels like it was all wasted.
Could it have been better?
Even though we shared deepest thoughts,
feels like it was just a normal conversation.
I gave you clues,
I gave you hints,
But looks like they were tough to capture in the winds.
So all i am left with is nothing,
All i have is silence.

The day we said hi,
And, the day we say goodbye,
seems to be the same.
I have no words to thank you,
I have no appreciation to appreciate you, Even if i have so many things to say,
I have nothing on my tongue to convey, All i have is silence.

I was the plain canvas,
You were the artist,
You coloured my life with beautiful colurs of happiness.
But i have nothing to say,
All i have is silence.

Story behind "All I Have Is Silence "
This story is about a boy. A school going boy of age 16. He was a shy personality. One who does not get mixed up with everyone so easy. He liked to stay alone, hated parties and other stuff. It was a normal school day, a free period, everyone was enjoying. Some were flying paper planes, some were busy chatting. It was all messy and noisy. But, he was sitting at the back bench, alone, separated from the crowd, daydreaming.
And, suddenly, his eyes rolled over a pretty face. He was so dumbstruck looking at her that he forgot everything that he was brooding upon. He just stared and stared. Because he was shy, he could not make the effort of talking to her. Therefore, she went away with her friends.

If i am to describe the two! They are like two opposite poles. If he is north pole, then she is south pole. Very little things, they have in common. She is just opposite of him. If he is shy, then she is bold. If he hates party, then she is a all time party type.

But then, as it is said, "opposites attract each other". He fell in love with her. Usually, he used to ignore going to school but now things changed, he went to school regularly. Obviously, not to attend classes but to have a glance of her.

The end of session was near and after this, she was shifting to another town.
He made plans to talk to her, but all went futile. Fortunately, one fine day, he gathered courage and went to her. He said, "Hey!". And finally, some progress. But, it was not enough. He feared talking to her. He tremendously trembled when he stood in front of her.

The good thing was, she was not like him. After his first effort, she used to go to him and talk to him. Slowly, they became friends. Everything was just going fine. Although, they were not declared as lovers but it was going great. But none of them realized that time was running out. And the day came, it was the end of the session. Everyone was giving each other farewell and promising to meet somewhere in the future. She was also busy with her friends. Though she was physically present there, her eyes searched for him. Everyone came to say goodbye to her, except him.

He was there but not there. He was sitting on the staircase, crying, heartbroken. He did not go to see her off.
He concealed his feelings for her within himself. He thought that, what if she said no?, what if she broke the friendship as well? The watch did not wait and it ticked on. It was an ironical moment, the whole year, he waited for her but now when she was searching for him, he did not show up. At the end, he was left with pain, heartache and tears in his eyes. He stood still. All he had was silence.

P.S. Say it! It is now or never! Otherwise, you will be left with nothing but silence. Take the chance, you do not know what might happen. It is always worth trying than regretting it your whole life.
