Two Musicians

There is an awesome silence between us. I'd never thought we'd get here, it took us so long.

Our relationship was a lopsided affair - we were never in time - like two musicians playing in different keys but trying desperately to harmonize. Only one thing will happen in that situation; the tune will die. Each musician will find a note that shares its key with that of the other musician and that note will remain. Monotonic, punctuative and dead.

That happened to us - we both tried so hard that we pushed each other apart.

But not anymore. When the tune dies another can be born, a new melody and a new key. An ease, no more trying - a beautiful silence that begs to be shattered.

We're older now and we've learnt a lesson.

We stay quiet.
