reading old messages from someone who no longer answers and feeling the physical weight of the phone in your hand

The Light That Runs Toward You

The afternoon stretches out, long and quiet, and the silence in your hand feels heavier than the device itself. You read the old words again, searching for a pulse in a conversation that has already stopped, while the world outside keeps moving without you.

There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off — he did not wait for the speech, he ran. The light does not wait for your performance or your perfect timing; it runs toward you even now.

It is already inside you, brighter than the screen you are staring into. You are not defined by the messages that go unanswered.

You are the light that shines whether anyone replies or not.
