Don't Speak

You and me

We used to be together

Everyday together

Reminds me of the time i split with Debo. It was the theme song of my life at that time.

The split even though it happened sometime in march had actually begun way before in December, during the inter-NIFT Converge.

It was without a doubt the worst time of my life.

Its all ending

We got to stop pretending

Who we are

I got a glimpse into Debo unyeilding soul then, when she left me alone for the full 7 days of the said Converge.

All alone in a foreign place with different people ready to rag you at all times as soon as you stepped out.

I wouldn't want to wish that time on anyone i know, being like that without anything to do, without anyone to talk to, with the white walls of the dorm closing in on me, the vestiges of someone else's friendship stuck on the cupboard beside me.

With my head in my hands

I sit and cry..

I did that most of the time, actually everytime she would walk into the room and not even look at me. Or she would happily make plans with others without any attempt to be quiet about it.

The way she refused to talk to me even after i begged to know my crime.

Don't speak

I know what you're thinking

Don't tell me because it hurts

Thats what i thought when she finally told me after 6 days of insane torture.

Because i said a thoughtless remark about her lifestyle in her hometown. That was it. And it hurt. Like anything did it hurt.

I was ripped apart, piece by piece my disbelief was beyond the limits of the galaxy... for this? You killed me inch by inch for a unintended rude remark? My best friend?

I can see us dying

Are we?

That was the end. Even though i tried so very hard to forgive her later when we came back from the holidays. I couldn't. I just could not wipe out those 7 days of horror from my mind, the pain that was inflicted intentionally and brutally had burn't all the bridges in our relations.

Anything i tried to make would be a pale matchstick shadow of the original one.

And so we ended, childishly and very badly, mostly because of me as i was unable to explain to her face about what she had done. It wasn't something i could believe she didn't realize. I could not pretend like nothing had happened, though i could also not stop caring about her, i could not love her like before. Never.

lyrics -

You and me
We used to be together
Everyday together always
I really feel
That I'm losing my best friend
I can't believe
This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go
And if it's real
Well I don't want to know

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

Our memories
Well, they can be inviting
But some are altogether
Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I
With my head in my hands
I sit and cry

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts

It's all ending
I gotta stop pretending who we are...
You and me I can see us dying...are we?

Don't speak
I know just what you're saying
So please stop explaining
Don't tell me cause it hurts (no, no, no)
Don't speak
I know what you're thinking
I don't need your reasons
Don't tell me cause it hurts
Don't tell me cause it hurts!
I know what you're saying
So please stop explaining

Don't speak,
don't speak,
don't speak,
oh I know what you're thinking
And I don't need your reasons
I know you're good,
I know you're good,
I know you're real good
Oh, la la la la la la La la la la la la
Don't, Don't, uh-huh Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush
don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
Hush, hush darlin' Hush, hush darlin'
Hush, hush don't tell me tell me cause it hurts
