We’ve known each other over 30 years. That’s a lot of time to learn a lot of dirt. We’ve known each other so long that we cancel each other out. You can’t reveal anything about me because I have something on you. So we buy each other’s silence by default. Sometimes the gossip hounds approach and the temptation exists to spill the beans. However, we both have secrets we would like to maintain. Those skeletons in the closet are shushing us. So maybe it’s best that we both just shut the fuck up.
Silence is golden
It’s also bought at a price
