The Light That Walks In With You
The floorboard creaked in the hall, and your body turned before your mind could catch up. You were ready to say, 'I'm in here,' to a silence that had no one to answer.
That moment of forgetting is not a failure; it is the bruise of loving someone who isn't there. But look out the window.
The sun is rising anyway. The light did not wait for you to remember you are alone before it returned.
It came back just as it always has, filling the room whether you are speaking to someone or not. You are not defined by the empty hallway.
You are defined by the light that walked right into it with you this morning.
