You Hurt Me With Your Silence

'Cause baby you're wrong.

I've never been afraid of love and commitment.

I've never been terrified of vows and marriage.

What I'm scared most is infidelity, lies and betrayal.

'Cause love doesn't hurt so bad.

It isn't supposed to be that painful.


And love? Love always wins.

Genuine love has never been defeated.

Even if you had flaws and shortcomings,

my unconditional love will always be bigger than your mistakes.


Just know that I would've stayed

even after knowing the truth—the whole freakin' truth.

Just know that I would have chosen you.

I still will. I just wish you hadn't left.


But now I'm left with only your memories

and the option to keep going without you

or to stay while slowly burning so you can

still keep up with me in case you decided to come back.


So I waited. And I'm still waiting

for your call, for your messages,

for your presence.

I waited for you to come back.

I waited though I'm too impatient.

And in waiting, I learned that there's beauty in patience,

there's hope in believing, there's love in forgiving.


If in loving you I've fallen short,

I'm sorry.

If in loving me you have to embrace your painful past,

I'm sorry.

If loving means to be apart, then I'd give you time.


Despite all that, I love you and I'm sorry.

I'm sorry if I have hurt you with my words,

but love, you hurt me with your silence.

And it's deafening.
