the next day, i return to the café.

i sit in my usual seat and order my usual drink.

and that's when you walk in.

up to the counter, and order your drink. you pick it up and look around the café, calculating your next decisions. your eyes land on me.

i quickly turn back to my drink, trying to block you out.

you walk up to me and sit opposite me.

you say nothing. i look up at you.

you smile at me.

i smile back.

the silence is no more.

and for the first time in a long time, i hear it all
