Reworked or Recycled Poetry: Quatrain, A chance meeting

Leaving behind the echoes of our shared past,

As we walk away from each other,

Like you, like me, will we ever find another?

As we part ways, memories dissolve, fading fast,


The memories of our yesterday fade away.

Yet the promise of a future, in our hearts, steadfast.

Embracing the unknown, as possibilities amass

and now take hold of our hearts to stay.


We leave behind the doubts and fears.

What once was, lingers in the fading light,

Yet the allure of what lies ahead shines bright.

Hope and love to wipe away the tears.


As we embark on this uncharted quest, anew,

and embrace what may come to be.

For now, it’s up to you and me.

Our hearts emboldened, our devotion true.
