The Blank Screen Still Holds Love

The cursor blinks in the middle of the afternoon, a rhythmic accusation in the quiet room. You type out the whole story—the reasons, the apologies, the raw truth of where you went and why you stayed away.

Then you stop. And you delete.

Word by word, sentence by sentence, until the screen is blank again and the explanation is gone. It feels like cowardice.

It feels like failure. But listen.

The light does not need your perfect paragraph to know where you have been. It saw you type it.

It sees you delete it. And it knows the heart behind the silence better than you know the words yourself.

You do not have to explain your disappearance to be welcomed back. The connection was never broken by your silence.

It was only hidden from your view. The screen is blank, but the love remains.
