The Light That Fills The Gap
The silence after the hand pulls away is the heaviest thing in the room. It feels like the end of the story.
Like you said the wrong word and broke the only thing that mattered. But listen — the light does not depend on that hand holding yours.
It was there before the touch, and it is here now in the cold. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
The darkness of this separation has not overcome it. You are not defined by the distance between you.
You are defined by the light that fills the gap. The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.
Even now. Especially now.
