Scorpio

The friendship that has gone quiet did not actually go quiet all at once. There were months of smaller retreats first, conversations that stayed lighter than they used to, invitations that came less often and were declined more easily. You have been telling yourself it is just life getting busy, schedules getting complicated, but you already know what changed and when. The real question is not whether you should reach out again, but whether you are ready to have the conversation that acknowledges what both of you have been avoiding. Some silences are not waiting to be filled but waiting to be understood.
