The Morning Asks Nothing Of You
The cursor blinks in the gray light of dawn, waiting for you to explain yourself one more time. You type the apology, then delete it, knowing that every word only makes the silence louder.
The morning does not demand your defense. It simply arrives, washing the room in a quiet that asks nothing of you.
In this first light, you are not required to fix what feels broken between you and another. You are only asked to remain, to let the day break over you without the weight of your own justification.
The sun rises on the messy and the silent alike, and it does not wait for you to get your story straight before it offers its warmth.
