i think that silence is the only thing she gets from the person she loves. as she is in love with him, it is enough for her to interpret it the way she wants - "That I could never forget the way You told me everything By saying nothing "

And then she explains why she keeps silent as well, and excuses herself - "I don't understand How love in silence becomes reprimand But the way that I feel about you Is beyond words "

"I just want to say That like you I should find a way To tell you everything By saying nothing "

And she hopes he would actually speak up (first), because she can't, she loves him too much
