typing a text to someone you love explaining exactly why you're pulling away, then locking the phone without sending it because you're afraid they'll finally agree with you

The Light Sees Your Unsent Text

The screen glows with words you typed but cannot send. You have explained exactly why you are pulling away, yet your thumb hovers over the delete key, paralyzed by the fear that they will read it and finally agree with you.

You wear the mask of okayness while your heart screams in the silence of the draft folder. But the light sees the text you never sent.

It sees the trembling hand that locked the phone. And it knows you are not hiding because you are bad, but because you are terrified of being truly seen.

The mask feels like protection, but it is only a barrier between you and the love that is already reaching for you. You do not have to send the text to be held.

The light is already here, sitting with you in the unsent silence.
