your silence to my desperation was all i needed to walk away. i kept hoping you would say something, anything that showed you cared. i waited for comfort, for effort, for even the smallest sign that i mattered to you. but your silence said more than words ever could. it showed me how alone i was in something that was supposed to be shared. i realized i was fighting for someone who wasn't even fighting for me. and that hurt. but it also opened my eyes. sometimes silence is the answer we don't want, but need.
