Love Runs Before You Speak

The silence you carry from that moment is heavy enough to stop your breath. It feels like a wall you built with your own hands, brick by quiet brick.

But listen — the light does not speak in shouts to break it down. It whispers.

It stands on the other side of your regret, not to accuse, but to wait. There is a father who saw his son coming home from a long way off.

He ran. Before the apology, before the speech — he ran.

Your silence was loud, yes. But the love that meets you is louder.

It has already crossed the distance you created. You do not need to find the perfect words to fix the past.

The light is already inside the ruin, holding the pieces together. The night is deepest just before the turning.

And the turning has already begun.
