Hidden Affection

The space between us hums with quiet knowing. A glance lingers a second too long, a touch hovers just before it lands. Words remain unsaid, caught in the space where silence is safer. In the hush of passing moments, affection grows like ivy in the shadows—unseen, but always reaching.

soft sighs in twilight
petals close against the night
love waits in silence

Ah, sigh. I could feel this permeating in my veins. You stunned with this one.

That means so much, Paige--thank you. I love that it found its way into your veins like that. Some feelings stay quiet, but when they speak, I hope they echo. I'm so glad this one reached you.
