Regarding syntax of the sentence

Friends, this question is about sentence structure which I'm unable to make. Need your help so that I can reply to my friend. The context is this: I asked something to my friend and he didn't reply to me for a long time - for 5 days. I wanna say something like this (e.g is from next para) but not sure about the syntax of the sentence.

Sentence: "What meaning should I draw from your silence" or "What does your silence mean"

Are both of these sentence correct both grammatically and syntactical ?

Thanks

"You could also say 'Why have you not replied to me?"

True. But I want to focus on "silence" part, you see. Thanks anyway.
