The Silence
Description
Silence is a source of great strength.
What happens if just when you finish breaking up with your significant other a storm comes?
That's just what happened to Jessica and Taeyeon after breaking up, right at the moment where Jessica was supposed to leave, a storm striked.
Now, what can both of them do with all this silence? With all the memories that they keep? Can they simply pretend that the other isn't there?
Is it that simple? No...it's not.
Foreword
And even as I see you all the away across from me in this room.
I know, I know it for sure.
That actually makes me scared, that my heart has no doubt and that my brain is not even hesitating in conjuring up this thought.
I know it...
I don't love you anymore, the more time I look at you the clearer it becomes, and perhaps that makes the whole thing more sad.
I don't love you anymore, the more time I look at you the clearer it becomes, and perhaps that makes the whole thing more sad.
My brain somehow fetches the memories of times long gone. I see you with my back turned to me as you gaze through the window, the rain drops beating against the window pane the only sound we both have.
Perhaps at that moment the only sound that filled the world, at the distance a thunder. They had predicted a storm on the news and now it was here.
Worst even I was stuck with you and had nothing to say. I sat against the back of the couch, facing the door, I didn't want to look at you. And I'm pretty sure you didn't want to look at me.
I heard you pacing around but I didn't bother to look. I looked up at the ceiling, my brain still fetching those memories, I knew that soon, outside wouldn't be the only place where it would raining.
I did my best to keep the tears in. And I think I somehow managed it.
When I looked forwards there you were, crouching in front of me a tear leaving your eye and a smile on your face.
You just looked at me and didn't say anything.
I also didn't have anything to say, all that I wanted to say had been said, we had broken up, this was it, the end...
If this was the end why were you sitting on top of me why were your lips touching mine?
I felt confused but to be honest...I didn't oppose it and perhaps that makes me a bad person, but I don't care.
At that time, that was exactly what I wanted to do, I wanted to have you one last time and I did.
I remember the sun's rays piercing through the curtains, the heavens were clear.
Somehow I felt lighter. I looked beside me, there you were, sleeping soundly.
I got up and took a shower, I put on my clothes slowly. I looked at you one last time.
I took my key to your apartment from the keychain and put it on your nightstand, I looked at your face one last time...
I mesmerized actually and you'll probably never know how hard it was for me in reality. I walked outside the bedroom and closed the door behind me, I leaned against it and let out my tears.
Finally I cleared my eyes and in silence I left that apartment, I left your life.
They always say that after the storm comes the calm...
The calm was silent.
