A Slight Lean Towards Someone

It doesn’t always begin with words.
Sometimes it begins with a slight leaning — not even visible to others.
A fraction closer in conversation.
A pause that lasts a second longer than necessary.
There is a language in these small shifts. It doesn’t announce itself. It doesn’t seek permission.
You notice it when silence feels shared, not empty.
When presence is enough, and nothing needs to be filled.
Not everything needs to be named. Some things stay better in that unnamed space — where expectation hasn’t entered yet.
It is not intense. Not dramatic.
Just a quiet understanding that something, however small, has moved.
And that is often how it begins.
