The Silence Is Not A Verdict
You sent the words, and now the silence is screaming. In these few seconds, your mind has already written the story: you are too much, you are being ignored, you are alone.
But the silence is not a verdict. It is just space.
The light that lives inside you does not vanish because a screen stays dark. What you are waiting for cannot change who you already are.
The truth you need is already shining within you, whether the reply comes or not. You are not defined by the pause.
