Our journey now memory

The poet describes the intense emotions experienced during the relationship, such as the breathless excitement and the joy brought by the partner's presence. Despite initially considering the relationship a mistake, the poet realizes that these memories have contributed to personal growth and understanding. The poem concludes with the acknowledgment that the relationship was not a mistake but a necessary path in life's journey. The use of vivid imagery, such as 'nesh lips' and 'clown voice,' adds depth to the emotional experience, while the free verse form allows for a natural, flowing expression of thoughts and feelings.
