Deafening Silence

One month ago I received a phone call that would change my life forever. I rushed, I flew, I did not want to wait. I could not wait to see you. I imagined you yelling at me when I walked through the door because I waited too long. But when I arrived you looked at me and said, "You didn't have to come in for this." I just laughed and said, "Yes, I did. You yelled at me for not coming in the last time!" I talked to you all night long. You were sleeping through most of my babbling, but I didn't want to stop. I knew when the time came the silence on your end would be deafening and it is. That is the hardest part, the silence.

Hello darkness, my old friend I've come to talk with you again Because a vision softly creeping Left its seeds while I was sleeping And the vision that was planted in my brain Still remains Within the sound of silence In restless dreams I walked alone Narrow streets of cobblestone 'Neath the halo of a street lamp I turned my collar to the cold and damp When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light That split the night And touched the sound of silence ~Simon and Garfunkel

I love you! I miss you!
