A tender meditation on the fleeting nature of real love, Maybe Once, Maybe Forever explores the ache of having touched something sacred, only to watch it slip through the grasp of longing. This poem holds space for the quiet kind of love that doesn't demand, doesn't shout, but simply is, woven into stillness, memory, and spirit. With language both intimate and expansive, it asks what it means to believe in a fairytale that was never imagined, only lived. This is a story of holding on, letting go, and learning that some truths never leave; they simply wait to be held differently.
This is how I found peace after being misunderstood. This is what happens when the noise goes away and I can hear my own voice again.
These poems came from times when I wasn't sure of myself, when I had to learn to let go, and when I had to learn to believe in myself. They are about taking my time to heal, being careful with love, and finding strength in the quiet places. It's not about being broken. It's about what you need to do to rebuild myself when the world keeps telling me that I don't deserve to be who I am,
Themes: healing, survival, false blame, emotional abuse, self-forgiveness, resilience, and rebirth.
