Scorpio

The silence between you and someone who matters is not the absence of words but the presence of everything that has not been said yet. You both know it is there, this careful space where the wrong sentence could close a door that took years to open. What looks like distance is actually the opposite: you are close enough to each other that every word carries weight, and the pause is not avoidance but precision. The silence is doing work that talking cannot do yet, holding the place where the conversation will eventually need to go.
