The quiet between you and someone else is not always the absence of words but sometimes the presence of something that does not need them yet. You have been sitting with this particular silence for days now, maybe weeks, and it has weight to it that emptiness would not carry. There is a fullness here that you recognize but have not named, the way a room holds the warmth of people who were just in it. The silence is doing work, gathering what needs to be gathered before the right words can find their way to the surface.
