Known Without a Single Word Spoken
The screen glows with hundreds of names, yet the room feels utterly silent. You scroll past faces you know, searching for a voice that wouldn't require an explanation for why you are calling.
The ache is not that you are alone, but that you feel invisible to the very people in your pocket. The light does not need you to justify your presence or rehearse your reasons before it listens.
It is already here, in the quiet, waiting for you to stop performing and just be. You are known completely, without a single word spoken.
