I thought goodbye was final,
a door shut too firmly to open again.
Yet in the quiet,
your voice lingered—
a thread pulling me back
through the distance.
I missed you
like the tide longs for the moon.
Every day apart
was a question without an answer.
When we found each other again,
it wasn’t fireworks,
but a slow, certain warmth—
two hearts remembering
They belonged side by side.
Now even in silence
I feel your yearning meet mine,
and what was broken
has grown tender seams of gold.
We are not who we were before—
but perhaps that is love’s secret:
to leave, to ache, to return,
and to hold tighter than ever.

Sad this poem speaks of a longing in the loss of a relationship yet with the recognition that we change and that pain is part of growing. Nicely written
Thank you so much.
You are most welcome
Tough one, always think, out with the old, replace with the new.
I love that saying so much. Thank you.
