in silence..

He bowed his head in anger and did not utter a word and the tears fell from my eyes but I tried to suppress the sob. The anger and the hurt screamed amidst our silence. I wanted to hold him, hug him and ask for forgiveness but the guilt in me succeeded in stopping the act and tied my tongue that I opted to keep my silence. I spoke his name in the softest way but he shook his head and clenched his fist. I put my hand on his back and continued weeping wishing my tears has the magic to tell him how sorry I was and how much I love him in spite of what I have done. I braced my self for the blame, questions and burst of anger but he only treated me with a deafening silence. I could not see his face but his unvoiced pain pierced through my heart. We spent hours just like that. When he started to lift his head I just knew it was over. He took my hand, squeezed it tight then lifted it to his lips. He looked at me with eyes mixed with pain, anger, regret and love and all I could ever do was touch his face and memorize every inch of it. I stared at those eyes which I love the most about his features. I wanted to kiss him with all the passion left in me. He scooped up my face with hands I so love to hold and kissed me with tenderness engraved in my heart. If only I was able to stop the time at that very moment. He took me into his arms and barely whispered ‘ I love you so much’ and swiftly walked through the door and out of my life.
