You Are Held Beyond The Silence
The screen is bright in the dark, but the silence is louder. You are rehearsing every word you sent, convinced you have broken something that cannot be fixed.
The fear tells you that your last message was the one that made them turn away. But listen — the darkness has not overcome the light that lives between you.
Even now, while you wait in this quiet room, you are held by a love that does not depend on a reply. You are not defined by the silence of another person.
You are defined by the light that remains inside you, steady and unbroken. The waiting feels like forever, but it is only a moment.
And in this moment, you are still whole.
