Held in the Silent Dark
The middle of the day is loud, a perfect place to hide the quiet panic you felt at 2am. You checked your phone then, hoping for a name, a sign, anything to prove you were not forgotten in the silence.
But the light does not depend on a screen lighting up to know you are there. It was already shining in the dark room, steady and silent, while you waited for a notification that never came.
You are not forgotten because no one texted back. You are held by a love that does not need to type a word to be present.
The silence was not emptiness; it was the space where the light was holding you without noise. You are known even when the phone stays dark.
