To Escape the Silence

He clung desperately to her words, what? What did she wish?"I jus wish I could've heard you speak" she rushed in a shaky breath. Silent tears streaked his face at her request and words of what he needed to tell her formed in his head.'I'll miss you too,you're the best thing that's ever happened to me...I'm in love with you' the last thought stopped his heart midbeat with the truth of it. She waited expectantly but try as he might the words didn't come they wouldn't come out. With a shuddering breath her face filled with a calm acceptance. Finding his hand she whispered,"it's ok." but it wasn't and he was panicking as time ran out. Her hand went limp in his and her head turned away looking eerily calm. He ran then, away from the death and the pain and it's memories. Without realizing it he turned and ended up in the middle of the field. The beauty it once held seemed to have disappeared with her absence. The petals were cold and frozen with snow the grass curled in on itself with disdain. Ignoring the cold he sat in silence that damnable silence.
