We walk robotically along this forest trail,
Just walking, not talking.
Like we do every year, on this same day.
The silence is killing me.
I want to scream, "Why won't you speak to me?!"
But you wouldn't hear me anyway.
Because you're 10,000 miles away,
In a place I can't call home.

Oh I relate well to this.  Silence has a way of screaming what words could never say.  Wlecome to Passions.  I look forward to reading more from you.  Love your name btw... I relate pretty well to that, too.

Very sad but interesting read. I enjoyed the idea very much.
