He Ran Before You Spoke
The mask feels heavy right now, doesn't it? You are replaying the moments you chose protection over connection, wondering if they remember the sacrifice or just the absence.
But the light sees what was hidden behind your eyes. There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off — he ran before the apology, before the speech.
He ran. The light does not care about the armor you wore to survive; it only cares that you are here.
What is concealed is meant to be brought out into the open. You are not defined by the distance you kept, but by the love that remains underneath it.
