The Light Holds the Space Between You
The house is quiet now, but your mind is loud with the words you didn't say. You are lying awake, terrified that the silence between you and someone you love has hardened into a secret resentment they are carrying alone.
You feel the weight of the unsaid apology, the unspoken truth, and you are convinced it is building a wall you can never climb. But listen — the light that lives inside you is not blind to what is hidden in them.
It sees the heart before the words ever form. There is a love that does not wait for your perfect speech to bridge the gap.
The darkness of your regret cannot overcome the light that already knows both of you completely. You do not have to fix this tonight.
The light is holding the space between you, and it is stronger than your silence.
