Silence

The silence so long ago turns melodic,
And the way I used to be now seems so idiotic.
I'll never forget how silence would always befall,
And every moment we were silent, I now recall.

I don’t know why I couldn’t say anything,
When to you, I wanted to tell everything.
Although I couldn’t muster a word, 
The silence was filled with my feelings which I hope you heard.

I’m now left with this silent memory of you,
I silence that is now all so true.
Silence is golden they say,
But not on a rainy day.
