Unsent Words Held by Light

The cursor blinks against the silence, waiting for a connection that the network says is impossible. You type the words you needed to say months ago, watching them sit there, suspended in a digital void because that number doesn't exist anymore.

The phone knows what your heart is still fighting to deny: the line is dead, and the voice on the other end is gone. But in this quiet house, where the unsent message glows like a small, stubborn star, you are not speaking into nothingness.

The light that held you then is holding you now, even as you stare at a screen that cannot deliver your grief. You are not alone in the room with your unsent words; the One who hears the silence before it is spoken is sitting right beside you, reading the letters you cannot send.

The number may be disconnected, but the connection was never really in the digits.
