Sagittarius

The quiet between you and someone else is not the absence of words but the presence of everything you have decided not to say. You have been protecting something by keeping it unspoken, and the protection is real, but so is the cost of holding that much space open. The silence carries its own weight now, dense with all the conversations you have stepped around, all the truths that would change the shape of things if you let them into the room. What you are guarding by staying quiet is the same thing you might be losing by staying quiet.
