the quiet panic of checking your phone at 2am to see if anyone reached out, fearing silence means you are forgotten

The Light Already Holds You

The screen lights up your face in the dark, a small rectangle of hope that fades back into black. You are waiting for a name to appear, terrified that the silence means you have been forgotten.

But the silence is not empty. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

It is still there, holding you even when no one else knows you are awake. You are not waiting for the light to arrive—it is already here, brighter than any notification.

The quiet is not a sign of absence, but the space where the light breathes. You are seen in the dark.
