Communication breakdown from "summary" of The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan
The disconnect between us was palpable. It wasn't just a matter of miscommunication; it was a complete breakdown of understanding. Words became weapons, tone became ammunition. Every conversation turned into a battlefield, with casualties on both sides. We were speaking different languages, unable to bridge the gap between us. The silences between us grew longer and heavier, filled with unspoken words and unresolved tensions. It was as if we were living in two separate worlds, unable to find common ground. Our attempts at communication only seemed to make things worse, creating more distance between us instead of bringing us closer together. I tried to reach out, to break through the walls we had built between us. But every time I tried to open up, I was met with resistance. It was as if we were trapped in a cycle of misunderstanding, unable to break free. Our words became barriers instead of bridges, creating more obstacles in our path. In the end, the communication breakdown became too much to bear. We drifted further and further apart, until we were strangers in the same room. The silence between us spoke volumes, louder than any words could ever convey. And in that silence, I knew that our love had been lost in translation.
