You Are the One Seeing
The day is ending, and the house is settling into its quiet. You catch your own reflection in the dark window—a ghost in the glass.
For a split second, the eyes staring back feel陌生, like a stranger wearing your face. That flicker of panic is not a sign you are lost.
It is just the light remembering itself in the dimness. You are not the shadow on the pane.
You are the one seeing it. The light that lives inside you has always been there, waiting for you to turn from the glass and recognize the glow that never left.
