The Light That Remains When Voices Stop
The screen glows in the gathering dark, holding the exact moment the warmth turned cold. You trace the words again, looking for the place where the light went out, as if you could find it in the punctuation.
But the darkness has not overcome it. The light was never dependent on their reply.
It shines in the silence just as brightly as it shone in the care. You are not defined by the conversation that ended.
You are the light that remains when the voices stop.
