Short Story : Understanding Silence

Understanding Silence

He was leaving for abroad in a few hours. Standing outside the airport, they both had a heavy heart just minutes before he was to walk in for check-in. They both had a different perspective where airports were concerned. She found it depressing and viewed it as a place which takes her away from home and people she loves. He on the other hand felt there were so many interesting things to notice. People for one and life for another. Airports reminded him of the pace, energy and speed needed to reach one's target. Differences aside, this was one moment, they wanted to cherish. Locked in an embrace and into each other's eyes...time stood still. At that moment, they knew, no matter where they are, no matter after how long they would be meeting, their connection with each other's soul would remain intact. Truly some things/moments in life are heartfelt and can't be expressed. They couldn't explain what they were feeling and going through right now but the beauty of it all was that they understood each other's silence.
