Lately, they’ve been returning…
old lovers with tender words and open hands,
offering futures I never imagined for myself.
Marriage.
Children.
A home I wouldn’t have to build alone.
“You can work if you want to,” they said,
“or stay home. It’s your choice.”
And I found myself still.
Not stirred, not aching.
Just… curious.
Like the universe whispered gently,
Are you sure you’re done with this chapter?
I thought maybe I hadn’t let go.
But then my mentor said:
“Consider your ex showing up because they represent something you want.”
And it landed.
Because truthfully,
I never saw myself as someone’s wife.
Never dreamed of being held in that way.
I was taught to rely on no one.
To earn my own, guard my own.
My father spoke of prenups and protection,
while my mother built a life in the quiet labor of home.
And now I wonder…
did I bury a softer desire
beneath the armor I was praised for?
Because maybe it’s not about being kept.
Maybe it’s about being chosen.
Cared for.
Given the option to choose rest.
To choose softness.
To feel safe in love, not indebted to it.
Maybe these echoes from the past
aren’t invitations to go back
but confirmations that I’ve grown forward.
That I’m ready.
Not for them…
but for what I never let myself want.
So I ask you…
what desire have you quietly tucked away,
because the world told you it was too much,
too risky,
too dependent,
too soft?
What if that is the door waiting to open?
