Some people are made of quiet.
They exist in the quiet corners of rooms, in the spaces light forgets to shine, where the noise of the world doesn't reach, where no one notices.
They don't talk much. Laughter seems a foreign sound. A memory they never experienced.
Their hands learn how to tremble in secret.
Their hearts learn to beat quietly.
They learn how to exist without living.
Some people are made of noise.
They exist anywhere and everywhere, the light seems to follow them, they leave flowers on their wake, the world seems to revolve around them.
They talk too much, laugh too loud, as if warmth can fix everything, like it can fix you.
They don't learn how to be quiet.
They don't know how to exist without living.
And when these two collide - it isn't loud. It's home.
A hallway hums, a door creaks, a chair moves. Nothing shifts, except the spaces inside them that no one has ever touched.
One learns that love can be patience.
One learns that patience can be love.
It's in the way that nothing changes, yet everything is different.
It's in the way a door is left open, a light left on, a silence that is not quite uncomfortable and one chair becomes two without words.
Words aren't what they need. All they need is each other to make it feel like them. Like home.
