I’m in a good mood.
I play some music on YouTube,
and by accident, your song appears.

Fifteen years
and still, your voice finds me.

I open your blog,
the one only I ever read.
Your secret world,
the place you never shared with anyone.

Five new posts.
In some, you write of motherhood,
of the quiet miracle of watching a child grow.
In others, you ache for escape,
the pull of roads not taken,
the taste of something new.

Your contradictions still reign.
The same reason why we would never work.

Our love was beautiful in its own way.
Young, pure, naive.

And yet,
I think motherhood has been good for you.
It grounded you,
anchored the storm.

We will never speak again.
But tonight,
as your voice fades into the next song,
I wish you well.
