what specific moment makes you look at someone and think to yourself, "I love you"?
when silence is comfort
When you get closer slowly over time, unspoken with no words required to express it. When you call them, just to be talking in intervals and realize that it's not even really an ongoing conversation, just hearing their ambient sounds on the other line is enough. When you invite them over, just to sit down and watch a movie together. You know the heavy impact words can have, and how abrasive they can be. But you also understand that silence can be deafening, and that the phrase "things are better left unspoken" has negative connotations but sometimes, they are better left unsaid, even if it's an "I love you." Because you know they know it and are saying it back, too.
