Where must we go now? We've tried everything
Here we are...
We used to see pass through each other and now we can't even meet eyes.
We often cross paths but we don't dare say "Hi".

We've endured this awkwardness and triumphed over this pain.
The stillness of this silence, appears deafening, once again.
The things we used to profound, we are searching within ourselves.
Waiting for a sound, waiting for something to hum - we've found none.

Amidst the pauses. and sudden twist of fate. We found danger, lurking in there.
Masked with this facade we are trying to maintain.
Carrying within us a composure we have managed very well.
Bringing forth a severe gap between what was once a beautiful tale.

When will you see the loudness of this silence eating us up?
Or the price for this ignorance we are holding towards each other, love?
How can we speak if the voices in our heads are dead overpowering?
Hoping you could hear what I needed to say without uttering a thing.


**I miss you... Instead, I said nothing.
When words will only make matters worse, we'll let each day pass until there's a permanent void between us.

When we both need to muster every ounce of confidence to work it out, or muster every ounce of strength we have left to let it fall apart, if being still means giving up on the things we deemed dear, where should we stand?
