Silence is so freaking loud

But as i lay there, it only seemes like silence filling my ears. And the thing was, it was so freaking loud.

−¿Peor que los gritos?−Mucho peor −dijo, asintiendo con la cabeza−. Mira, en una discusión, al menos, sabes qué es lo que está pasando. O tienes una idea. El silencio es... Puede ser cualquier cosa. Es tan...−Tan ensordecedor... −terminé por él [...].−Exactamente.

The silence wasn't like the ones I'd known lately, though; it wasn't empty so much as chosen. There's an entirely different feel to quiet when you're with someone else, and at any moment it could be broken. Like the difference between a pause and an ending.
