Residuum

Our Song of Silence

When I finally get you alone,

It wasn't what I expected.

You were staring at your phone,

Know what I did? I hesitated

Moments pass, and all there was is silence

But underneath my hesitance

Is my heart drumming against my chest,

Not knowing what to say or what to test

Musical beats that were all whole rests,

Pass by in those few minutes

I find solace in your presence,

Then frustration in your absence

Our moment runs out,

As my time comes to leave

I lose you in the crowd,

And you take your chance to flee

Now the distance between us increases,

And the tug at my heart tightens

What's left on my mind is you,

And I wonder if you're thinking of me too

If we should've grabbed the chance when we had it,

If we should've used our voices

Instead of hiding in the shadows of our silence

What runs through my head is regret,

Cause I didn't fight my hesitance

All that repeats in my head,

Is our song of silence.
