Love That Runs Before You Arrive

The silence in the house feels heavy tonight, like a clock ticking down to the moment they finally walk away. You lie awake wondering if their patience is just a polite delay before they realize you aren't worth the effort.

But there is a love that does not calculate worth, a love that runs toward you while you are still a long way off. It does not wait for you to be perfect before it stays.

The light inside you is not something you earn by being enough for someone else — it is the very thing that makes you impossible to lose. No one can snatch you from that hand.

Your partner's weariness is human, but the love holding you is divine, and it does not run out. You are not a project they might abandon; you are a child they have already claimed.
