A Brand New Start.
A Clean Slate.

You say “I’m sorry”
but my memory is a blank page,
the ink of the past has faded,
its words erased by time’s soft hand.
What is left is a quiet dawn
a space wide enough for two hearts
to walk in without baggage,
to meet not as strangers,
but as souls willing to learn.
So let us reintroduce ourselves:
your name, my name,
our laughter, our tears.
Not the versions we carried yesterday,
but the truth of today,
raw and unpolished.
We never truly knew each other
not in the marrow,
not in the secret corners.
This time, let us carve beauty
from the ordinary,
let us gather moments
that will stand unbroken.
No more shadows, no more weight,
only the grace of a clean slate.
Here, in this fragile, holy now,
we begin again
and the memories we build
will be the ones we keep.

This was so wonderful, my friend. Loved it so much!
It can be very hard to start fresh after hurt but this is a wonderful expression of just how freeing it can be to do just that. Very well written.
