LOVE AFTER APOLOGY FAILS
<p><br/></p><p>Amaya:</p><p><br/></p><p>I said I am sorry</p><p>but my words fell like gold coins into empty hands</p><p>shining, heavy, useless</p><p>your eyes did not soften</p><p>they were oceans I could not cross</p><p>waves rising with my failure</p><p><br/></p><p>I thought love could forgive</p><p>that our history could carry us</p><p>but your silence cut deeper than the sharpest knife in my store</p><p>I tried to speak, to reach</p><p>but you drifted like smoke through my fingers</p><p><br/></p><p>I remember the words of Rumi</p><p>who said</p><p>Raise your words, not your voice</p><p>It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder</p><p>I spoke rain</p><p>and you turned to stone</p><p><br/></p><p>Aman:</p><p><br/></p><p>I heard your apology</p><p>I saw it shimmer like sunlight on water</p><p>but my heart was frozen</p><p>a river in winter</p><p>I could not let it thaw</p><p>not with your tears</p><p>not with your hands reaching for me</p><p>I loved you still</p><p>but love is not enough</p><p>to erase nights when words failed</p><p>to undo silence that stacked walls between us</p><p><br/></p><p>Amaya:</p><p><br/></p><p>I regret</p><p>letting pride outweigh patience</p><p>letting anger speak louder than my heart</p><p>letting fear and frustration write the script of us</p><p>I regret</p><p>every evening I held my breath</p><p>hoping you would forgive without asking</p><p><br/></p><p>Aman:</p><p><br/></p><p>And I regret</p><p>hiding behind work and duty</p><p>letting distance grow where warmth should have lived</p><p>letting fear become the lock on the door to us</p><p>letting your heart ache while I froze</p><p><br/></p><p>Amaya:</p><p><br/></p><p>I see the tide now</p><p>the way love ebbs and flows</p><p>I see how apology alone cannot build bridges</p><p>I see how our hearts need tending, like rivers and orchards</p><p>and I am willing</p><p>even after failure</p><p>to let my hands water the roots again</p><p><br/></p><p>Aman:</p><p><br/></p><p>I am willing too</p><p>even after pride</p><p>even after hesitation</p><p>to let my heart be the wind that lifts us</p><p>to let forgiveness be the current that carries me to you</p><p>slowly</p><p>carefully</p><p>so we do not drown again</p><p><br/></p><p>Together:</p><p><br/></p><p>We stand together, hands brushing</p><p>like wind through golden leaves</p><p>like sunlight dancing on water</p><p>we do not erase the past</p><p>we do not pretend it did not hurt</p><p>we breathe</p><p>we speak</p><p>we rebuild</p><p><br/></p><p>Love after apology fails</p><p>is not perfect</p><p>it is water and air</p><p>it bends, it moves, it returns</p><p>it flows if we let it</p><p>it lifts if we open ourselves</p><p><br/></p><p>And slowly</p><p>our hearts speak again</p><p>not louder than fear</p><p>not higher than regret</p><p>but gentle</p><p>steady</p><p>and alive</p><p><br/></p><p>We learn that </p><p>Forgiveness is a river</p><p>and love is the wind</p><p>and together</p><p>we can sail again</p><p>even after storm and silence</p><p><br/></p>
