It was so quiet in the room,

Almost too quiet for you,

For someone who grew up with words and fell in love with words

You no longer talked about the long late nights, about your favorite 90's comedy shows

And how the little rain droplets on the ends of summer green leaves reflect against the sunlight, creating a stunning rainbow,

Or maybe how we used to be hand in hand jumping from roof to roof singing our hearts out
