The Dots Vanish But Love Remains
The night gathers its dark around the screen where you typed the truth. You watched the three dots dance—a promise that someone was there, that the words were being received—and then you watched them vanish.
The silence that follows is heavy. It feels like a verdict.
But the light does not measure your worth by who stays to reply. When your heart condemns you for being too much or not enough, know this: the source of all love is greater than your heart, and it knows the whole story.
You are not abandoned in this quiet. The grace that holds you is entire, complete, and it will protect you even now.
The dots may disappear, but the presence that loves you does not need a signal to remain. You are held in a love that no deleted message can erase.
