Taurus

The apology that was never offered has become a small daily practice you did not know you were maintaining. You have learned to step around the shape of it in conversations, to change the subject when someone else's story gets too close to the edge of yours. What started as waiting has turned into something else entirely, a careful way of moving through rooms and relationships that no longer feels like waiting at all. The thing you thought you needed to hear may have already been replaced by what you taught yourself to do without it.
