You Are the Reason the Lamp Was Lit
The house is quiet now, and the silence feels like a verdict. You are apologizing for the space you occupy, shrinking your breath so no one notices you are still here.
But listen — no one asked you to leave. The door was never locked against you.
The light does not measure its worth by how little room it takes up. It simply shines, filling the dark without asking permission.
You are not an intruder in this night. You are the very reason the lamp was lit.
