Silence

Say nothing – let the silence last.
Yes, you taught me to keep silent.
You said: ‘It’s good’ and I took it on trust
And I try to celebrate the moment.

I send another letter to you,
But you pass over it in silence.
There is no talk between us – no argue - 
You keep me in the silent suspense.
