The silence between us used to be highly communicative, loaded with sideways glances thrown at each other. We took pride in our ability to decipher the silent space. It was never a vacuum.
Somehow, today the silence seemed eerie. It appeared that you had run out of both emotions and words. Averting eyes was just one of the signals, from a host of others I had observed over a period of time.
Somewhere, I knew that the end was approaching. It was only a matter of time.
roadblocks in jungles
reveal reverberations
emptiness of caves
