Everything has become so quiet since you left - all a little too quiet. The dreadful, empty silence trudges behind me everywhere I go, latching on and refusing to let go.

Your euphonious laugh no longer dances in swift playful circles around me; your eyes no longer greeting me in the early hours of the morning.
