Beautiful Silence

There is a couple in the corner at the coffee shop.
 They are obviously in love. 
The way she looks at him. The way he touches her cheek- The curve of her mouth turns up and her eyes grow brighter. He takes her hand and they are lost in each other. There are almost no words exchanged between the two. They are simply soaking in each others presence. He reaches over, caresses her cheek and kisses her deeply. Their eyes are locked and her hand touches his thigh and gives a slight squeeze. She gives him a devilish grin. He raises his eyebrows. She giggles a little. They are remembering the previous night. They are like this for about 20 min. The communication between the two of them is far more powerful than any verbal exchange. It is incredibly alluring and I find myself immersed in their world for a brief period. 

Incredible how powerful a connection can be based purely on acts of encoding and decoding wordless cues.
