The Light Waits For Your Trembling Eyes
The sun is rising, and with it comes the terrifying clarity of what happened in the dark. They spoke to you with their whole heart, and your body betrayed you—you flinched.
You looked away because the love felt too bright, too heavy, too much for your eyes to hold without pain. But listen: the light does not demand a gaze you cannot yet give.
It sees the trembling. It knows the flinch is not rejection; it is the shock of a wound being touched by something gentle.
You do not have to fix your vision this morning. You only have to stay in the room.
The love is patient enough to wait until your eyes can bear the dawn.
