the phantom vibration of your phone when you know they aren't going to text back

The Light Arrives Without Your Reply

The sun is up, but your hand still jumps at the silence in your pocket. You feel the ghost of a vibration that isn't there, waiting for a name that won't appear.

The night promised you an answer, and the morning brought only this hollow space where a message should be. But look at the light coming through the window—it did not wait for your phone to ring before it arrived.

It simply came. The rising sun shines on those living in darkness not because they replied, but because they are there.

You are seen this morning without having to check a screen. The silence is not a rejection; it is just the quiet space where you learn that you are already held.
