The Silence Is Not A Verdict
The silence in the room feels like a verdict. You are listening to the quiet, convinced it means they have seen too much of you and are already packing their heart to leave.
But the darkness lies about what it cannot see. There is a love that does not depend on your performance or your perfection.
It is not a fragile thing that breaks when the shadows get long. The light that holds you both is greater than this fear.
It is already inside the silence, waiting for the morning. You are not being abandoned; you are being held through the night.
