The Light That Finds You Alone
The morning light is grey and quiet. You reach for two cups out of habit, then remember you are walking alone.
That small ache in your hand is real. It is the weight of a presence that is no longer there.
But the sun is rising anyway. The light does not wait for you to be ready.
It arrives simply because it is morning. You did not choose the light; it chose to find you here, on this street, with this coffee.
The dawn does not care if you are lonely. It shines on you just the same.
The light is not the person who left. The light is the fact that you are still here to see it rise.
