he treated her like she mattered.
& then there was silence.
he laughed at her jokes like they were funny.
& then there was silence.
he smiled at her like she was a piece of his life.
& then there was silence.
he looked at her like he was listening.
& then there was silence.
he spoke like he cared about his words.
& then there was silence.
he held her like he was afraid to lose her.
& then there was silence.
he treated her like she mattered.
& then there was silence.
