Silence Hidden In Words

37

¨Hello Annabelle.¨

[a bright smile towards my direction, before looking back at the clipboard]

¨It's so nice to see you again. It's been a year..since we seen each other right?¨

[small nod]

She asked me small questions,

like

How have I been doing?

And how school's going?

As much as I wanted to sit there,

and attempt to answer.

the words never came.

It's been too long.

The trust just wasn't there anymore.
