We Had Chemistry. But I’m Into Peace Now

We bumped into each other—

by accident, or divine comedic timing.

You, with that same crooked smile.

Me, with healed hips and holy boundaries.

We hugged. Brief. Familiar.

A sacred nod to a love that once burned.

And let’s be honest—it was good.

But so is closure.

You looked like a memory.

I looked like freedom.

You whispered, “Damn, you still got it.”

I smiled, “I know.”

No bitterness. No longing.

Just two grown folks

who survived the same fire—

but only one of us learned to build a home.

So if you see me in these streets,

just know:

We were a beautiful chapter…

but baby, I’m already writing the sequel.

With humor, grace, and a strut that don’t lie,
