This takes place before I could speak. I had no need for it at the time. I lived in my head with my friend. No one knew him but, me. And I couldn't tell anyone anyway.
He was formless without shape. But, I wasn't scared he was kind and only wanted to help. I was never lonely he was there all the time. We spoke often though not with words. This part is difficult to explain. Feelings, thoughts, answers, emotions, all were shared.
Our observations and perceptions of the world were made through feeling it. Something we shared and understood. I could communicate with no other like this. It was strange that they didn't speak this way. People. We had no words describing them. They were there. Nothing more was needed. I wasn't cut off from them. They simply didn't understand our language. How we spoke and talked was different. Utterances of sound were not needed or required. We simply knew and trusted. It was the way. It was our way. And it held meaning.
Speech now is not the same. Words and sounds. Something not there. A thing my friend and I had it. We shared it. But, no one else has spoken that way.
It is difficult to explain it without experiencing it.
What do you all make of it? Have you had similar experiences?
