Resting in the Light Between Us

The day has finally stopped moving, and now the quiet of the room feels louder than the noise ever was. You lie there in the dark, close enough to feel the warmth of another body, yet separated by a silence that feels like miles.

It is a specific kind of exhaustion to share a bed with someone who has become a stranger. The light does not demand that you fix this distance tonight.

It simply stays with you in the gap. There is a peace that is not like the world's peace — a stillness that exists even when the connection feels broken.

You do not have to force the closeness right now. The light is already present in the space between you, holding what you cannot hold yourself.

Rest is not the absence of tension; it is the presence of a love that waits for morning.
