Before I take your silence as goodbye

Hi, how are you? How long has it been? Two, three weeks? You’ve been very silent, I’m afraid.

Your silence makes me wonder but mostly analytical.

I wonder if you’ve thought about writing me a letter but was scared to send them.

I wonder if you’ve tried talking to me when our feet crossed.

I wonder if such silence means something.

If you don’t mind leaving a word on my doorstep..

so this hand of mine won’t lose its grip on that doorknob.

Before I take your silence as goodbye,

Dearest, come quickly.
