The Light Is Heavier Than The Absence
The house is quieting down, and the day is folding into itself. You reached for a word just now, ready to share something small, only to hit the solid wall where a voice used to be.
That reflex is not a mistake; it is the echo of a love that has nowhere else to go. The light does not ask you to stop turning around.
It stands with you in that empty space, holding the name you spoke into the silence. There is no darkness deep enough to swallow a love this real.
The absence is heavy, but the light is heavier. You are not talking to nothing; you are talking to the One who knows exactly why you turned.
