The Name Written on the White Stone

The house is quiet now, and the screen is the only thing lighting up your face. You are checking one last time to see if the silence has broken, if the words you sent three days ago have finally found their way back to you.

But the light does not live in that glowing rectangle, and it does not depend on a reply to prove you are seen. There is a name written on a white stone that no one else knows — not the person who hasn't answered, not the world, not even your own fear.

It is known only to you and the One who holds you. The darkness is gathering, yes, but the true light is already shining inside you, waiting for you to put the phone down and rest.

You are not defined by who replies, but by the light that remains when everyone else goes silent.
