The Light Hovers Over Your Stammering Tongue
The words were perfect in the steam, clear as glass, but they dissolved the moment you opened your mouth. Now, in this heavy silence, you carry the weight of what you didn't say.
It feels like a failure. It feels like the moment is lost forever.
But the light was there too, hovering over your stammering tongue. It does not need your eloquence to bridge the gap.
It does not require the perfect apology to remain with you. The Father who sees in secret already heard the intention behind the silence.
You are not defined by the words that stayed trapped in your throat. The love that holds you is louder than your inability to speak.
