The Light Waits in Your Regret

The sun has gone down, and now the room is quiet enough to hear the echo of your own voice. You are replaying the last message you sent, hunting for the exact word that made them pull away.

You are rewriting the sentence in the dark, swapping one phrase for another, convinced that if you can just find the right combination, the distance will close. But the night does not ask you to edit your history.

It asks you to sit in the silence you fear. The light that was present when you spoke is still present in the regret.

It does not vanish because the conversation stalled. It waits with you in the gathering dark, holding the space where the words failed.

You are not defined by the message you cannot unsend.
