The Light Is Your Breath Right Now
The screen is dark now, but your thumb keeps tracing the same words, searching for the exact moment you started disappearing. You are looking for a clue in the silence, a reason in the punctuation, as if the answer to why you were left is hidden in the pixels.
But the light does not live in the past tense of a message read yesterday. It lives in the quiet of this room, right now, unseen but present.
There is a truth inside you that no text can erase and no silence can dim. Bring forth what is within you, not what was taken from you.
The light you are searching for is not in her last words; it is the breath in your lungs while you read them.
