Light Remains Where Love Was
The cart holds the same bag you always buy, a habit formed for two hands that are no longer there. You stand in the line, the automatic motion completed, only to feel the sudden, hollow weight of a future morning where the second cup has nowhere to go.
The gathering dark loves these small, silent reminders that the world has changed while you were busy living in it. But the light does not require a partner to be real.
There is a love that sees the empty space at your table not as a failure, but as a place where something new can grow. You are not defined by who is missing, but by the light that remains present even in the silence.

Matthew, John
