The Light Sees Your True Love
The morning light is already on the wall, but you are still lying there, replaying the exact tone of your voice from last night. You are convinced your partner heard the resentment underneath the words, and now they are lying awake wondering if you still love them.
You wear the mask of the perfect partner so well that even you forget it is there — until the silence of the morning reveals the gap between how you look and how you feel. But the light does not need your performance to know what is true.
It sees the love that is still there, buried under the fatigue and the fear. You came from the light, and that origin cannot be erased by a single tired moment.
The one who loves you is not analyzing your tone; they are resting in the history of your care. Stop trying to fix the night before breakfast even begins.
The love is not gone; it is just waiting for you to put the mask down.

Gospel of Thomas, Luke
