The years are folded manuscripts
with letters never sent
Some words are faint some ink still burns
in hearts that won’t repent
The wind unfolds a corner’s curl
revealing scent of yesterdays
I cannot throw those pages out
for every line still prays
Fate is a patient editor
revising how we live
The words once crossed remain alive —
their silence still forgives
So I close the worn-out book
and let the pages rest
For what’s unfinished often stays
and ends up written best
