The door is open just a little
The light is softer than before
You don't step in all at once
You stand and feel the floor
Nothing's asking you to hurry
Nothing's pulling at your sleeve
Here we are again
At another quiet start
Not beginning with a promise
Just a steady heart
Here we are again
Letting moments come and go
The year feels new but unfamiliar
Like a coat you haven't worn
You try it on without a mirror
Just to see if it's warm
You don't need to name the feeling
You don't need to make it clear
Here we are again
With nothing to perform
No speeches, no resolutions
Just being where you are
Here we are again
That's enough for now
You're allowed to enter gently
There's no rule about how
Here we are again
At the edge of something new
You don't rush to call it hope
You just let it be with you
