waking up and instinctively reaching for the phone to share a small joy, then remembering their number is now a place you are not allowed to go

The Light Remains When The Phone Is Silent

The joy arrived small and sudden, and your hand moved before your mind could catch up. It reached for the number that is now a closed door.

The silence that followed was loud enough to wake the dead. But listen — that instinct to share was not a mistake.

It was the light inside you remembering it was made for connection. The darkness has not overcome it.

The urge to love is the only thing that never gets old. Even when the recipient is gone, the love itself remains valid.

You are still a child of the light, even with nowhere to send it tonight. The phone is silent, but the light is not.
