Endless Silence by Settiaii

She never knew where he came from, but every night--when her eyes grew heavy and she finally let sleep claim her--he would be there waiting. Twinkling blue eyes would meet hers as he slowly brushed a strand of black hair away from his face. Then his mouth would twist into a bittersweet smile, and she would sink into his waiting arms.

They never spoke, never said a single word. Words, names... They were only in the way.

But as his lips pressed against hers, the same hope would spring into her heart time after time--maybe, just maybe, this was real.
