The Light That Never Waits
The screen lights up your face in the dark, one last check to see if the silence has broken. Three days is a long time to carry a word that never arrived.
You are waiting for a sign that you are remembered, that you matter to them. But the light does not depend on a message from another human to know you exist.
The true light that gives light to everyone was already shining before you sent that text. It shines still.
You are not defined by who replies or who stays silent. The love that holds you is not waiting for a notification to begin.
Put the phone down. The night is deep, but you are held in a love that never sleeps.
