taylor baecker - Silence...

I wanted to talk,
but don't know what to say

Silence...

I got nervous,
and looked away.

Silence...

I read what you wrote,
but can't put my reaction into words

Silence...

My inability to speak,
sometimes it hurts

Silence...

I didn't want you
to misunderstand what I said

Silence...

So I kept quiet,
lest our faces turn red

Silence...
