"We don't speak with words. We speak with a gentle brushing of shoulders, a look across the room, a door opened, a smile as we pass each other, a racing heart as I see you coming up the driveway. There is power in silence, and while we don't say a word, we both know we only want each other."
- "Pillow Thoughts" by Courtney Peppernell
There was something about your relationship with Daniel that made it unique from anyone else's relationship. Maybe it was the fact that you two were truly in love that even silence between the two of you was completely comfortable.
You were relaxing on the couch, waiting for Daniel to come home from work. You absentmindedly scrolled through social media to help pass the time. At 7pm sharp, you heard him come up the driveway.
Your heart started racing as you jumped off the couch cushions and towards the window. You watched as he got out of his car and looked up at you, already knowing you would be waiting for his presence. He waved, a smile evident on his face. You smiled back and gestured for him to come inside.
You jogged excitedly to the door and opened it for him. You watched him walk up the stairs, utterly mesmerized by his walking mannerisms. The two of you never broke the silence nor the eye contact once he was inside the house.
Daniel took off his shoes and set his stuff down on the nearby table before wrapping his arms around your waist. You did the same by wrapping your arms around his neck.
The two of you stood there for awhile, just enjoying each other's presence.
"Hey," Daniel softly laughed.
"Hi," you responded just as softly.
He gave you a quick kiss, "I missed you."
You agreed and laid your head against his chest, for he was that much taller than you. You could hear how fast his heart was beating. You smiled at the thought that it was because of you.
"I am starving, can we eat now?" Daniel broke the embrace and started heading towards the kitchen. "It smells great in here."
"Yes, we can, you dork." You laughed and followed him.
"I'm your dork, though." Daniel smirked and stuck his lips out to form a duck face.
You rolled your eyes playfully, "Yeah, yeah. Can you get even cheesier?"
Daniel pulled you closer again to hold you in his arms and nodded, "I love you to the moon and back. I can't see myself with anyone but you because you're the one I want... There! Cheesy enough?"
"Pretty cheesy," you pressed your lips against his, trying to conceal the smile forming on them.
"Good because I meant every single word."
