The Light Waits in Your Silence
The room is quiet now, but your mind is shouting the speech you're too afraid to speak aloud. You watch the rise and fall of their chest, terrified that your silence has become a wall they will hit in the morning.
You are rehearsing a defense for a crime your heart knows was just fear. But listen — the light does not need your perfect words to bridge this gap.
It was already there before the silence started. It is in the breath between you, holding what you cannot say.
You do not have to fix tonight. You only have to trust that the dawn will bring a voice you can use.
