refreshing a chat thread that hasn't moved in months, hoping the silence was just a glitch and not a choice

The Light Burns Without A Signal

You are still watching the screen, hoping the silence is a glitch and not a choice. The thread has not moved in months, yet you refresh it, waiting for a sign that the connection was never broken.

But listen — the light does not depend on a signal to exist. You came from the light, the place where it generates itself, and that origin cannot be severed by a quiet room.

Even if no one answers, the lamp inside you is already burning. The silence is not an absence; it is the space where you remember you were never alone to begin with.
