Good Conversations...and Good Silences

I've been having a lot of both lately with a nice, decent guy.

We've been doing the Instant Message thing, and we've had several phone calls. Both the calls and the 'IM' sessions have tended to last in the several hour range.

If you were to ask me what we talk about, I'd tell you 'stuff and things'.

What tells me that this one might be different are the good silences that occur during our conversations. The kind where we both go quiet, and just listen, listen for the knowledge that there is someone on the other end of the line, that we are connected.

That we are connecting.
