"I never understood what they meant when they said that quietness can be loud. I thought that was just a saying, that it never really happened, that people just said it because it sounds poetic and sad. When you didn’t return any of my calls or didn’t text me to see how I was doing, the quietness was actually so bad that I began craving sound. But then I started crying by the phone and talking in my sleep, saying your name over and over, and then I got it. I got that your quietness had started eating me up, that it made me become an insomniac, and I started seeing the emptiness while I was staring at my phone, desperately wanting to see your name. I began hearing it when I was waiting for the bus with no one to talk to, and that’s when I realised that quietness can sometimes be even louder than any other sound."
