The Light Sees What You Delete

The cursor blinks in the dark, waiting for words you know you won't send. You type the truth—that you still check, that you still hurt, that you still wonder—and then you hold the backspace key until the screen is blank again.

The silence in the room feels heavy, like a verdict you are passing on yourself. But the light does not need your words to know what is in your hands.

It saw the paragraph before you deleted it. It sees the ache that remains after the letters are gone.

You are trying to hide your hunger from the one who fed you when you had nothing to offer. Go home to the quiet.

The love that found you in your mess is still there, waiting in the dark, and it has not moved.
