The Light They Forgot Inside You

The house is quiet now, but the silence inside you feels louder than the day ever was. You have spent years making yourself small so the peace could hold, trading your voice for the absence of conflict.

It is a specific kind of loneliness to sit across from someone who knows your face but has forgotten your light. Yet there is a truth that the darkness of this room cannot touch: the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

That light is not something you borrow from the person beside you. It is the very life that was given to you before you ever said 'I do.' You do not need their eyes to validate your existence.

You are already seen by the One who placed that fire inside you. The night is gathering, but it does not own you.
