Hello everyone! I'm soooo sorry I haven't been able to update my other stories. I've honestly haven't had the time to sit and write properly. However! I leave you this little one short as an apology if you are one of the lovely readers waiting for my update on Finding Solace. If not, I still hope you enjoy this little piece. Thank you and happy reading! :)

There was nothing to be said, or heard, or even misunderstood now. There was nothing to be held, hurt or tossed aside. There was nothing to be acknowledged or interpreted, and there was nothing left to do. There was only silence.

A silence so thick it filled the room, a silence so dreadful, heavy and pure that carved wounds into my heart. The dim lights hummed, the gray sky rumbled, the heavy doors creaked open and closed, the tiles clicked against constant footsteps; and yet, there was only silence.

I could see it very clearly in your eyes, there was so much left to say; and yet you did not. I could feel it in my heart, there was so much I needed to hear; and yet time was never given to exchange these thoughts between us.

Your eyes...your beautiful eyes said so much, so why couldn't your lips do the same? The selfish inside of me clearly knew what you were trying to say, but it wasn't enough. It would never be enough. I needed words. Meaningful words that I could hear, savor, replay over and over again in my head...words that I could treasure forever; to never forget. But time was never given for these words to be spoken and heard.

Your lips were moving once, I recall. But I heard nothing. I felt nothing. Your words never reached me. What were you saying back then, where were you when I needed you most, Were your pretencious words sincere, even if just a little...all these questions haunt me, and as much as I want to face you, my heart shies away from the very thought of confrontation.

I'm so sorry

I love you

I will never forget

I need you

Don't leave me

Come back...

These words are caught in my throat as I stare at you as simply, as coldly...as lovingly as I can. I am facing you now, as you face me likewise. Your unblinking eyes, your cold skin and your detached look...how can I reach you now, when you look so far away?

Now, I am ready to face you, and to be faced by all that I've done, but how come your limp body does not respond in kind to my advances? One touch, one pull, one whisper...there is nothing. Can you feel me here beside you? Are you too far from my reach, that I can never voice what was always in my mind? What do I do now?

My heart is heavy with all I couldn't do or say, because time was never given for me to love you.

FIN
