Mercy Arrived Before You Hit Send
The screen goes dark, but the terror of the reply stays bright behind your eyes. You sent the truth out into the void, and now the silence feels like a verdict waiting to be spoken.
The world wants you to perform okayness while you wait for the judgment to arrive. But the light does not operate on your timeline of fear.
What you are waiting for has already come — the mercy is already here, sitting in the room with you, before the notification ever lights up. You do not need the reply to be whole.
You are already held in a love that arrived before you hit send.
