Wir sprechen. Lange Dialoge, sinnlose Sätze, die uns müde machen. Plötzlich schweigen wir beide. Wir gucken uns in die Augen und in einer Sekunde verstehen, dass wir nichts mehr brauchen weder Wörter noch Lügen. Unsere Liebe in Stille ist genug.
In a second
We talk. Long dialogs, meaningless sentences that make us feel tired. Suddenly we both shut up. We look at each other's eyes and understand in a second that we don't need anything else, nor words neither lies. Our love in silence is enough.
as an exercise at the class of German in the year 99 or 2000 (I can't remember it well), we had to write a poem about the silence, and this what I wrote. Many people liked it.
