The Light Filled Your Silence
The water runs hot, but your mind is colder, rehearsing the conversation you wish they had stayed for. You speak their part perfectly now, with the clarity that always arrives too late.
The steam rises to meet the silence you carry into the middle of the day. But listen — the light does not need your rehearsal.
It was present in the room when the words failed. It heard the things you could not say.
The silence was not an absence; it was a space the light already filled. You are not defined by the conversation that ended, but by the One who never left.
