The Light Exists Beyond Your Touch
The day has finally stopped moving, and now your hand is resting on theirs, feeling the skin but missing the person underneath. It is a specific kind of loneliness—to be touching someone you love and feel entirely alone in the contact.
You are searching for a warmth that isn't reaching you tonight. But the light does not require you to feel the connection to know it exists.
There is a knowing deeper than your senses, a truth that lives inside you even when your hands report only silence. The verdict your loneliness gives you is not the final word.
The light is greater than the distance you feel right now. You do not have to manufacture the warmth to be held by it.
