The silence after Goodbye?!

Our eyes met for a couple of seconds... 

we both looked away, 

as if the Silence held answers too heavy for our eyes to carry. 

Something seems to be missing, 

maybe it was the love we once shared, vibrant and alive, which no longer exists.. 

And in absence of love, we stand as strangers, 

each lost in our own thoughts.. 

But I had to let you go, for someone who truly deserves the light you bring..

So finally there was silence....after goodbye.. 

But how do I tell you.. 

that the Silence after Goodbye was no silence at all;

It was the loudest scream of all I'd say to make you stay..
