Silence


So once upon a time I thought I was over you. Then I saw you. And I was right back to where I started. But unfortunately it looks like I need to learn to take a hint. Because sometimes Silence says it all. But no one listens to Silence. Yet its the loudest thing we ever hear. Sometimes Silence cuts deeper than a knife. Sometimes its best to stay quiet. The Silence can speak volumes without saying a word. Silence doesn't mean your mad. Sometimes it means the situation has left you with nothing more to say. Silence has become normal between us. Not the nice kind of Silence, or the comfortable kind of Silence. But the awkward kind of Silence. Like between strangers. Becoming more and more discouraged as the days of Silence go by. When you say nothing it has more meaning than a thousand words would. Silence pushes people away. So if that's what you want. That's exactly what your going to get. Because lets face it. Silence and rejection feel the same.
