Light Held You Before the Distance
The space between two bodies in the dark can feel like an ocean. You are touching, yet entirely alone.
The silence here is heavy, pressing down on the chest until breathing feels like work. But listen — the light does not require closeness to exist.
It was there before the distance grew, and it remains now, untouched by the coldness between you. Even in this hollow, the Father's love is not absent; it is the quiet hum beneath the silence.
You are not defined by the stranger beside you. You are defined by the light that holds you when no one else can.
The night is long, but the dawn is already walking toward you.
