He returns again,
and my heart falters, unsure.
He seeks closure,
yet my silence holds the answer.
The love I once craved
now flickers,
a flame I wish would fade.
Peace or happiness —
which weighs heavier?
With him, joy glimmers,
but peace slips through my grasp.
Do I teach him
to love in my way
or do I walk away?
Perhaps I already know…
I will follow the quiet rhythm of time,
and let it decide.
