Echoes and Resilience

Echoes of the past, they linger in the night,

Shopping carts and food orders, oh, it doesn't feel right.

Voices in my head, they scream, they shout,

Yet through the chaos, I’m learning to live without.

It’s hard to drown them out, these memories that cling,

Every little impulse whispers louder than a king.

Walking through the aisles, trying to find my way,

Each decision’s heavy, like I’m lost in disarray.

But this girl next to me, she knows my battles well,

Through the storms and the struggle, she casts the sweetest spell.

With her by my side, I tread through the strife,

Holding on to hope, she's the anchor in my life.

We’re fighting through the darkness, one step at a time,

With love as our compass, we’re starting to climb.

In Texas we’ll find the sun’s gentle rays,

Together holding on through the rougher days.

Taking showers feels heavy, drowning in despair,

But she lifts me higher, gently brushes my hair.

Through fragile moments, when my heart feels so sore,

She whispers, "I’m with you, forever and more."

Shopping lists abandoned, a battle I must fight,

Ordering too much, yet it seldom feels right.

But every empty corner of my aching soul,

Is filled with her laughter, making me whole.

She’s the light in the shadows, the calm in my storm,

Holding me together when I’m feeling worn.

When the echoes get louder, and the past tries to cling,

She reminds me of freedom, the joy that love brings.

We’re fighting through the darkness, one step at a time,

With love as our compass, we’re starting to climb.

In Texas we’ll find the sun’s gentle rays,

Together holding on through the rougher days.

So here’s to the journey, with my heart open wide,

With my sweet girl beside me, there’s nothing I can’t ride.

Echoes may persist, but I’m ready to stand,

For love conquers all, hand in hand, hand in hand.
