Hope

Did you realize

That you have been loved

When you thought you were utterly alone.

Memories of the past are rekindled,

Both the hurtful and joyful moments,

Brightening the dark path that lies ahead.

Yes, I have done wrong a few times,

Yes, I am still working on fixing them.

But I just want you to know

You were in my thoughts

Just as I was with you in the past.
