Silence is golden, but the silence between us is growing,
and I fear I do not want gold.

I want you

I want your smile, I want your laugh, I want the simple little conversations that we might have if I was better

If I was smarter

If maybe I were to gain the courage to do the right thing for once, and please everyone

Then the silence between us would be eradicated

It would be eradicated from this earth, and then I'd be happy.
You would be happy

Yet the week has started anew

And I feel as if its been years. Decades. Centuries even.
Time slows the more I worry, and I  worry as if my life depended on it

My life depends not on time but you

It depends on that smile, on that laugh, and on those little conversations we could've had

If I was only better
