I nearly cried because the day finally stopped touching me

Dear Delyara, That’s the truth of it. Nothing dramatic happened in the final hour. In fact, that’s why the feeling came. No one needed anything. The phone had gone quiet. The room was dim. The demands had lowered enough that my body could finally stop pretending it was not carrying so much. And then the pressure turned to tears. I didn’t fully cry. But I could have. Sometimes the body only tells the truth once the world stops interrupting it. Tonight it came very close.
