For the One My Heart Never Forgot

You know, some souls don’t really drift apart —

they just wander through time, learning how to find their way back.

Five years ago, I lost you — not because love faded,

but because I failed to understand what love truly meant.

I was foolish, caught between ego and fear,

and I let comparison steal away my confidence

when all I really wanted was you.

There hasn’t been a single sunset since then

that didn’t carry your shadow in its light.

I thought I had moved on, in real I was stuck in adjustments

but the truth is, my heart was just waiting — quietly, stubbornly —

for the sound of your name again.

And now, after all this time,

life has brought you back — not by chance, but by grace.

I know you’ve been through storms,

and I know trust may tremble like a fragile leaf in the wind.

But I am here, with open hands,

not to rewrite the past,

but to build a new story — one where we heal, together.

I don’t want to love you out of nostalgia;

I want to love you out of choice.

I want to be the one who stands beside you

when the world feels too heavy,

the one who reminds you that love can still be kind, still be steady, still be home.

So if your heart allows even the smallest space for me,

let me fill it with care, with patience,

with every ounce of love I couldn’t give before.

Because I don’t just want you back —

I want to grow with you.

I want to marry you 🥺,

to walk through years and seasons hand in hand,

to prove that sometimes,

the most beautiful love stories

are the ones that find their way home — twice. ❤️
