The Light Waits in Your Unsent Words
The afternoon light is flat and heavy, pressing against the window while your thumb hovers over a name that used to know your order without asking. You type a greeting, then watch your own finger erase it, letter by letter, until the screen is blank again.
The silence in the room feels like a verdict. But listen — the light does not require you to send the message to be present with you.
It is already sitting in the chair beside you, watching the cursor blink in the empty field. The gap between who you were to them and who you are now is not where God abandoned you.
It is exactly where the light is waiting, patient as dust motes dancing in the stillness. You do not have to bridge the distance today.
You only have to remain in the room where the light is already shining on your unsent words.
