But words to him no longer fit right in her her mouth.Words which belonged in his ownership were no longer hers to give. Silence was the only acceptable state her heart would grant.

The smiles which would have been imprinted upon his heart, would never be. And his lips would never be able to reply to the words she could not say.”
