The Start

You lost your husband, I lost my wife,
Each heart in shards, a slice of life.
Now seeking a space for just us two,
A bond we forge, old yet new.

Two souls adrift in shadow’s grasp,
Clueless and unguided, hands we clasp.
Fear and curiosity, now our friends so dear,
Driven by a yearning, our path becomes clear.

Our meeting simple, without any fanfare,
Greetings turned to talks, moments we share.
Laughter and tears, in their dance, drew our hearts closer.
With every sweet exchange, our spirits soared together.

Could we have seen this second love’s chance,
For hearts once anchored in time’s expanse?
Yet now my heart stirs, fresh and renewed,
Days glowing brighter, life’s joy pursued.

Is this the morning’s first gentle light,
Or evening’s star breaking the night?

The light is tender, yet unmistakably there.
