Gemini

The absence of an apology can teach you more about someone than the presence of one ever would. When you stop waiting for words that will not come, you start to see the actual shape of what happened between you, not the version you kept hoping could be revised. The clarity arrives sideways, in small moments when you realize you are no longer checking your phone for their name or rehearsing what you would say if they finally reached out. What you thought you needed from them, you discover you already gave to yourself in the waiting.
