The Silence

Expectation:
Sitting quietly
With nothing to say
I expect awkward
Yet it's pure ease
Just to sit
Close
No words needed
All feelings felt
Sitting silently
With you.

Reality:
The silence speaks volumes
Where there once was talk
Laughter and friendship
Now there is nothing
And not the silence of
Sitting quietly on the beach
The silence of annoyance
The silence of disgust
The silence of done
The silence.
