Dear Someone: The love you withhold often speaks louder than the love you give.

Read this if your silence is breaking your own heart while trying to protect someone else’s.

Dear, Dear Someone, _

There’s a weight to the silence, isn’t there? A weight that feels like a stone lodged in your chest, heavy yet hollow. You didn’t choose this silence because you didn’t care. No, quite the opposite. You chose it because you cared too much. You chose it because sometimes, loving someone means stepping back, even when everything in you is screaming to move closer.
