The Light Beneath Your Unspoken Words
The water has stopped running, but the words are still there, rehearsed perfectly in the steam, now cooling into a heavy silence you carry into the bedroom. You practiced the apology until it was flawless, until the moment passed and the door to speak it closed.
But listen — the light does not require the perfect speech you drafted in the shower. It asks only for the courage to break the silence, however imperfectly.
You came from the light, and that origin cannot be buried by words you failed to say. The root of you is still clean, still whole, still shining beneath the regret.
Tonight, the gathering dark is not a verdict on your hesitation; it is simply the space where you learn to speak before the water turns cold again.
