Silence

I missed you today,
that hello in the morning...
That song that played, 
long distance comes to mind, linked with broken strings...

you had me worried...
you know i hate it
when you're quiet...

Do you know 
what went through my mind?
The questions I had...

If this is the preview 
of my life without you...
without hearing your voice...
then I might as well stop breathing...

Your silence 
said more than
words ever could...

I hate it when
you’re quiet,
but I understand...
sometimes, silence is needed...

to make us appreciate
each other more, guess what?
You said it best, 
when you said nothing at all...
