We meet, today,
I was the one who called you.
I said I wanted to talk.
You said you'll come soon.

We met, sat down, I talked
About me, my problems and things.
You listened all this while,
Never interrupting.

I'm sorry.
Am I too loud for you?
Should I let you talk?
I silenced myself.

Never interrupting.

I'm sorry.
Am I too quiet for you?
Should I start to talk?
I silenced myself.

Eventually, silence just built between us.

The two of us did different things in that time.
We stood up, said our farewell, so long.
Yet unknowingly, the same question remained on both our minds:

'Did I do something wrong?'
