The Source Remains When Reflections Fade
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the exact second the love left. You replay the look, the silence, the moment the light went out in their eyes.
It feels like the end of the story. But the darkness has not overcome the light that lives in you.
That light was there before the glance, and it remains after the turning away. You are not defined by the moment they stopped seeing you.
You are defined by the One who sees you still. The love you lost was a reflection, not the source.
The source remains. Tonight, the gathering dark does not get to write your name.
