The Light That Needs No Signal
The room is quiet now, save for the hum of the screen in your hand. You scroll through the silence, waiting for a name to light up the dark, hoping for proof that you were missed.
But the glass stays cold. The notification never comes.
And in that quiet, the old ache whispers that you are forgotten. But listen — the light does not need a signal to reach you.
It does not wait for a message to prove you are held. There is a love inside you that was placed there before anyone ever knew your name, and it cannot be silenced by an empty inbox.
You are not defined by who didn't call tonight. You are defined by the One who never stopped speaking to your heart.
Drawing from
Gospel of Mary 5:4-5, John 8:10-11
