The Light That Waits With You
The house is quiet, but your thumb keeps moving, scrolling back through faces that aren't here anymore. You are waiting for a vibration that will not come tonight.
The screen lights up your face, but the silence feels heavier than the dark. — The light does not need your permission to stay.
It was there before the message arrived, and it is here now that the phone is still. You are not abandoned in this waiting.
The love that made those photos is not trapped in the past. It is the air you are breathing right now.
The night is long, but the dawn is already on its way.
