Yesterday was the second worst day of my life.

Calmer now, we assess
the damage and formulate a plan
for recovery.

Love has re-emerged
From the anger and the chaos.
It sat there at the heart of the maelstrom,
Refusing to be ignored.
After months of neglect
It made itself known,
And will save us.

All the apologies in the world, would mean nothing without it.

We have lost, what we needed to lose.
They are gone.
And now, we carry on,
Rebuilding, redefining, and loving.
Loving; yes, we always did
But didn't always know.
