Read My Mind

"Oh well I don't mind, if you don't mind

'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine

Before you go, can you read my mind?"

-The Killers

"Even if I could read your mind, your mouth would still lie to me." Sometimes we get a glimpse into the souls of certain individuals that we wish to know better, but what do you do when your heart is telling you one thing but your mind can't make any sense of the situation? I am in love with someone, but the feelings can't be spoken.

Half of the time I cannot even figure my own self out, so how in the world would I be able to give insight on someone else? The world tries to make sense of everything by labeling and putting things into context. I have a name so that others can address me. However, my name does not define who I am as a person. When you try to explain the unexplainable, it ends up taking away value and being branded as something cheap.

The best things in life are things that are unexplainable and emotions that are felt. Someone can tell you what love feels like, but until you experience it yourself you will never know the state of ecstasy is exudes. Not everything is meant to be put into words.

Things make sense in my head, but when I try to translate it, I end up being mind-fucked. I want to read his mind because maybe it makes sense in his head. When we are together, I know we both feel the same, but can nonverbal communication last when a world that insisting on verbal commuication?
