Mute


I hate when we're silent when we're quiet when we're shy when we hide our feelings and thoughts and act like we don't know each other Blowing the other off even for time even for a moment It's quick and shouldn't mean that much But it does It means the end is near and we're preparing for the distance for the silence For the reunions when we talk about ourselves because We are just a memory And while some are sweet And some are lovely This one is sad and scared Scared of that reunion and the silence it demands And it makes me scared scared to lose you scared that this moment will last more than a minute and make it permanent Because I'll forget what you wear I'll forget what you say I'll forget what you do But I will never forget the feeling of your silence and the memory of We
