Held Even When The Apology Stays Unspoken
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the speech you are rehearsing. You know every word, every pause, every plea for forgiveness that you will never speak because you know it won't fix the look in their eyes.
That look feels like a door that has slammed shut forever. But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that lives inside you, and it cannot overwrite the love that holds you.
There is a peace that does not depend on their response or your performance. It waits for you right here, in this stillness, deeper than any regret.
You are held even when the apology stays unspoken.
