The Light Remains When Screens Go Dark

The screen holds three dots that never become words. You stare at them until they burn into your vision, convinced that your imperfect message is the reason they walked away.

You replay every syllable, hunting for the flaw that made you unlovable. But the silence you are facing is not a verdict on your worth.

The truth that lives in us and will be with us forever does not depend on a reply. It was there before the message was sent, and it remains while you wait.

You are not defined by the conversation that didn't happen. The light is not a dot that appears and disappears based on someone else's attention.

It is the steady glow that remains when the screen goes dark. You are still here.

And that is enough.
