The Manuscript

The Three of Us — Me, Silence, and Him

It’s what isn’t said that says the most

According to Jung, “The most important thing in communication is hearing what isn’t said.”

The ellipsis represents what isn’t said. And there is a lot to be heard within that void.

For us, that middle dot –silence — came between us. It stifled virtually all communication and became our demise, literally leaving things hanging in limbo for almost a decade.

“This could be trouble…”

That first text. That trail of dot dot dot left me hanging. So many questions. So many possibilities. A lot was unspoken. And I really liked what I didn’t hear. Hmmm.

Progressively, that same silence I once found alluring screamed plenty of what I hated not to hear.

At first, when problems had begun to seep in, I tried being civil. I asked for things. Then, I pleaded, begged, cried for feedback. Something. I was answered with brooding silence.

That trail of dots ended with him.
