# One More Attempt #

One More Attempt is a gentle reflection on memories, unfinished dreams, and the courage to begin again. It reminds us that although we cannot change yesterday or bring back lost moments, a broken dream does not mean a broken life.
Sometimes, all we need is the courage to take one more step and try again.

One More Attempt

Come, my dear,
let us sit together for a while
and talk about yesterday.

Not to reopen old wounds,
but to remember
when happiness came so easily
and life seemed to belong to us.

Do you remember
the promises we made,
the dreams we shared,
the moments we thought
would never end?

I remember.

Perhaps you do too.

Maybe somewhere inside you
there are still unfinished dreams,
a few words left unsaid,
a few moments
you wished you had lived.

Now, let them rest.

We cannot go back
and change what happened.
We cannot bring yesterday
back to life.

Yet life is still here—
quietly waiting
for us to fly again.

One broken dream
does not break a life.

Sometimes,
it simply makes room
for another dream.

So,
if your heart still whispers,
“Let us try again…”

listen.

Take one more step.

Make one more attempt.

  1. A poignant poem to try one more time to salvage a relationship. Sometimes they fall apart over the silliest things and other times there is no salvation, but we have to try. Happy Friday. Allan

    • Thank you, Allan. I’m glad the poem resonated with you. 🙏
      Sometimes relationships fall apart for reasons that seem small, while other times the wounds run much deeper.
      But if there is still love and understanding left, perhaps one more honest attempt is worth making.

    • Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. 🌱
      I truly believe that an ending is often just the beginning of another chapter.

      Sometimes, we don’t need a grand plan—just the courage to take one small step and the faith to try one more time.
      Every attempt teaches us something and keeps hope alive.

  7. One broken dream does not break a life. Isn’t it interesting, Vijay, how we can have countless good days but one bad one can cut like a knife.

      You are absolutely right—sometimes one painful day can overshadow many beautiful ones. Perhaps that is why we must remind ourselves that a bad day is only one page of our story, not the whole book.
