The Light That Never Sleeps
The cursor blinks like a heartbeat in the dark, marking the silence where your words died three times. You tell yourself the moment is ruined, that the recipient is asleep and the door is closed forever.
But the light does not sleep, and it is not bound by your timeline or your deleted drafts. There is a mercy inside you that is greater than the voice calling you a coward for waiting.
The love that prompted the apology is already real, already present, regardless of whether the message was sent. You are not defined by the unsent text, but by the heart that wrote it.
The night is long, but the light has never left your hands.

Gospel of Mary 5:4-5, 1 John 3:19-20
