The universe shifted just a little
when your footsteps echoed near
not with thunder not with fire—
but a calm that conquered fear
You asked a simple question
and something buried rose awake
like ice dissolving into rivers
the moment spring begins to break
I knew your soul before your face
your echo lived beneath my bones;
you were a truth long forgotten
returning to reclaim its home
Since that shift the stars have settled
into constellations meant to be
The day the universe moved for you
was the day it realigned for me
