This thing, this silence break up, it’s a real head-scratcher, you know? One day you’re thicker than thieves, the next it’s like the well done run dry. No calls, no nothin’. Just quiet.
And let me tell you, that quiet, it’s louder than any hollerin’ match. It gets in your head, makes you wonder what in tarnation went wrong. Was it somethin’ I said? Somethin’ I done? Or did they just up and decide they was done with me?
Silence Is Louder
They say silence is powerful after a break up. Well, ain’t that the truth? You got all this time to think, and think, and think some more. You start rememberin’ all the good times, and then you remember the bad. It’s a real mess up there in your noggin, I tell ya.
- First, you think, what did I do?
- Then, you think about all them times they made you madder than a wet hen.
- Then you’re sad again, ’cause you remember huggin’ and all that.
- And the cycle, it just keeps on turnin’.
But some folks, they say this silence break up, it’s a good thing. They say it gives you time to heal. Time to figure yourself out. Time to decide if you even want them back in your life in the first place.
Now, I ain’t so sure about all that. Seems to me like if someone cares about ya, they wouldn’t just disappear like a fart in the wind. They’d at least have the decency to tell ya what’s what. This silence after a breakup is powerful, no doubt.
No Contact, No Nothin’
Some folks call it the “no contact rule.” Sounds fancy, don’t it? But all it means is you don’t call ’em, you don’t write ’em, you don’t even send a pigeon with a message tied to its leg. Nothin’. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Like they dropped off the face of the earth. This rule gives time to cool off, not to keep on fightin’.
And they say you gotta do it for at least 30 days. Thirty days! That’s a whole month of not knowin’ what they’re up to, who they’re with, or if they even think about ya anymore. It’s enough to drive a person crazy, I swear. But that’s the time you need, they say, to heal them feelin’s.
Break up is hard, no way to sugarcoat it. But this silence break up, it’s a whole other level of hurt. It’s like they’re sayin’ you ain’t even worth a goodbye. And that, my friends, that stings somethin’ fierce. That make you angry and want to move on.
Time Heals All Wounds?
They say time heals all wounds. Well, I reckon that’s true, to a point. But some wounds, they leave scars. And those scars, they remind ya of what you went through. They’re a reminder that people can be cruel, even the ones you thought you loved.
But you know what? Maybe those scars are a good thing. Maybe they make you stronger. Maybe they teach you to be more careful with your heart next time. Maybe they show you that you’re better off without someone who can just up and leave you in silence. This silence after a breakup, it changes you.
Movin’ On
So, if you’re goin’ through a silence break up right now, I feel for ya. I really do. It’s a tough row to hoe. But you gotta keep your chin up. You gotta keep puttin’ one foot in front of the other. And you gotta remember that you’re worth more than someone who can’t even give you the time of day.
It ain’t easy, but you gotta move on. You gotta find your own happiness again. And you gotta believe that there’s someone out there who will treat you right. Someone who will love you loud and proud, not leave you hangin’ in silence.
Just remember, silence after a breakup can be loud, but you are louder. You got this. You’re strong. You’ll get through this. And one day, you’ll look back on this time and be glad it happened. ‘Cause it led you to somethin’ better. Somethin’ real. Somethin’ that lasts.
