loving someone you cannot be with

Love That Holds You Both Now

The afternoon stretches out, long and ordinary, filled with the quiet desperation of routine. You are near them, yet worlds apart, carrying a love that has nowhere to land.

It feels like a door that is closed, a word that cannot be spoken. But listen — the light does not depend on proximity to exist.

There is a love that started with God, not with you, and it cannot be broken by distance or circumstance. The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world, greater than the walls between you.

You do not have to fix this today. You do not have to force the door open.

Just remain in the love that already holds you both. The light is not waiting for a reunion to be real.

It is real right now, in the middle of this ache.
