the loneliness that comes after a friendship ends quietly

Held in Love When Others Walk Away

There is a special kind of silence when the person who used to understand you is gone. It feels like the house has become too large, and the weight of that absence is the only thing you can feel.

But listen—the light inside you does not leave because someone else walked away. It never does.

There is a voice that said, 'I will not leave you as orphans,' and orphans are the ones who feel exactly what you feel right now. You are not lost in this empty room.

You are held in a love that does not require an audience to be real.
