Oh,
I thought you meant:
That I should leave you alone,
Give you time to to think,
To just be.
I thought you meant:
That you would come back when you were ready;
Ready to communicate,
To express your concerns and your desires.
I thought you meant:
We would be okay;
That this was just a misstep that could be easily rectified,
Within a moment,
Or a series of moments.
I thought you meant
Something else.
Oh.

Lack of communication between two people is a sad thing. It is so important to say exactly what it is we want to convey.

Miscommunications are so sad. People need to work on their communication skills, whether at home, work, or with friends.
