typing out a long message to tell them you miss them, then deleting it word by word until the screen is blank again

The Light That Holds Your Unsent Words

The screen glows in the gathering dark, holding words you cannot send. You type the truth of your missing, then erase it, letter by letter, until the blue light reflects only your own silence.

There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off — he did not wait for the speech, he ran. The light does not wait for your message to be perfect, or even sent.

It sees the unsent words and loves you in the quiet. What you delete is not lost; it is held.

The silence is not empty — it is full of the One who knows your name before you speak it.
