By Kerry A. Wiley
Not everything that lingers is unfinished.
Some things remain because they no longer need to move —
Between holding on and letting go,
nothing is forced,
nothing is missing.
Still — not empty.
The moment remains.
Nothing rushed, nothing taken back.
Contact stays — deliberate.
Old patterns remain,
no breaking, just coming undone.
It settles,
and stays.
Not fear — just a leftover signal.
No numbness.
No distance forced into place.
Nothing shattered.
Nothing lost.
What holds when nothing is owed?
What stays when control lets go?
Still — not empty.
When urgency falls away —
nothing is missing.
No outcome.
No return.
Not resolved.
Not erased.
It remains.
Still —
not empty.
