With trembling hands, a letter is written,
each stroke carrying the weight of years—
words long buried now rising to the surface.
“Let’s mend the broken ties,” it says,
an invitation, fragile but earnest,
to meet again where love once stood.
Across the miles, the letter travels,
seeking not only another’s heart
but perhaps redemption.
Hope stirs, tentative and trembling,
as the likelihood of forgiveness unfolds.
The hands that wrote the words still tremble,
haunted by the whispers of mistakes,
of love once cherished and then lost.
Will this be enough to weave together
what time reluctantly unraveled?
The silence that follows feels infinite—
a void that speaks louder than words.
Yet, even in the quiet ache of rejection,
there is a lesson:
love endures only when nurtured
by trust, by patience, by grace.
Sometimes, the only way forward
is to release the past and rebuild
upon a renewed foundation.
Forgiveness lingers, but not in the reply
that never came, but in the heart
that chooses finally to let go.
The journey is not always one of reunion,
but of finding peace in the shadows
of what once was.
Time, relentless yet kind, softens
the edges of loss, guiding the heart
back to itself— to a place where love,
in its many forms, still resides.
