Sagittarius

The quiet that has opened up where conversation used to be carries more information than the words that filled it. You have been reading this silence wrong, taking it for absence when it might be the first honest thing that has happened between you in months. What feels like emptiness is actually the sound of two people finally stopping their performance for each other. The space has weight to it, the kind that comes when something true is trying to surface and needs room to breathe before it can be spoken.
