Love Remembers When You Forget

The afternoon sun is unforgiving, exposing every detail you are terrified of losing. You carry the weight of a face in your mind, convinced that if a single feature blurs, you are killing them all over again.

But the light does not require your perfect recall to keep them alive. There was a man who had been paralyzed for thirty-eight years, lying beside a pool he could never reach on his own.

The light did not ask him to recount his suffering or prove his memory was intact. It simply said: get up.

Your grip on the past is not what sustains them. The love that holds you both is stronger than your fading mind.

You are not the keeper of their life; you are the witness to a love that remembers you even when you forget.
