Pisces

The quiet between you and someone else is not the absence of words but the presence of everything you have both decided not to say yet. This kind of silence holds weight differently than the empty kind. It carries all the care you have been extending toward their situation, all the space you have been making for their timing, all the ways you have been reading the room and choosing patience over your own need to know. You have been so good at holding space for what they might eventually tell you that you have forgotten to ask what you need in return.
