Silences

They're having coffee, sitting without knowing why;
no topic to talk about, they don't even know where to look.
They love each other but there's no love; they hate each other without resentment;
they seek each other and run away at the same time, amidst the silence that follows.
Loneliness embraces them, but they don't accept their failure,
pretending to return a love that has already gone.
And so the days go by pretending that everything is fine;
with silences and coffee, waiting for yesterday to return.
They prolong the end, even though everything is the same to them;
their sad game of love, where there's never a winner.
Thinking about what could have been, none can understand
that living in silence is another way of dying.
Something that starts in joy, when it ends it's agony;
painful confusion, where there's no explanation.
Just silences enveloping the promise that died,
and a feeling of terror, believing that we will never
find another love.
