I’ve walked these days with echoes
of the things we used to be,
small moments turning weightless
when your memory finds me.

I’m learning from the quieter
places where we fell apart,
yet somehow every lesson
draws a circle around my heart.

I will not take the worn down path
that led us into ache before,
I’m choosing something softer now,
a kinder way to love you more.

And though the past is fragile
and the future still unsure,
a piece of me keeps whispering
that love might still endure.

Not asking for the old days
not trying to rewind,
just hoping we can meet again
with gentler hearts and open minds..
