Safer in the Light Than Hiding
The night is gathering, and in this quiet, the hand reaching for yours feels like a trap. You flinch.
You pull back. Convinced that if they knew what you really did, the grip would loosen and they would walk away.
But listen — there is a love that has already seen the worst of you and has not let go. It knows the things you hide in the dark, and it loves you anyway.
Not because you are perfect, but because you are known. The light does not wait for your apology to stay close.
It stays. It has already seen the depth, and it is still here.
You are safer in this light than you are in your own hiding.
