For the One Who Came Later

I didn’t expect you.
I thought my heart had already lived its greatest story.
But you arrived with kindness in your eyes,
And patience in your smile.

You never asked me to forget the past,
Only to make room for the present.
You listened to my stories without jealousy,
Held my hand without hesitation,
And loved me without condition.

Now I know —
Love can come at any age,
And the chapters we write together
May be my favorite ones yet.
