Your Silence Did Not Extinguish The Light
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the words you didn't say. You are replaying every moment you stayed silent, every time you wanted to reach out and didn't.
The darkness feels heavy with all the unsent messages, the unspoken love, the fear that kept your hands still. But listen — the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
Your silence did not extinguish the light inside you. It was there when you froze, and it is here now as you grieve.
The true light gives light to everyone, even to the one who feels they missed their chance. You are not defined by the moments you pulled back.
The light is not a reward for perfect courage; it is the ground you stand on right now. Bring forth what is within you, even if it comes out trembling.
What you bring forth will save you.
