In the silence where shadows softly tread,
I wander through the echoes of words unsaid.
Your absence, a haunting, a spectral embrace,
In this emptiness, I search for your trace.

Each moment stretches, a fragile thread,
Binding my heart to the things we once said.
The laughter we shared, now whispers of pain,
In the stillness of night, I call out your name.

The stars above seem to dim their light,
As I navigate through this endless night.
The moon, a witness to my silent plea,
Reflects the sorrow of losing thee.

I walk through memories, a labyrinth lost,
Each corner I turn, I count the cost.
The warmth of your smile, the spark in your eyes,
Now just a flicker, as time slowly flies.

I reach for the moments, but they slip like sand,
Fleeting and fragile, like grains in my hand.
The world feels so heavy, burdened by dreams,
In the emptiness, nothing is as it seems.

Yet amidst the sorrow, a flicker remains,
A glimmer of hope that still gently gains.
For love, though absent, can never depart,
It lingers in echoes, deep in my heart.

So I’ll cherish the whispers, the laughter we knew,
And hold on to the light that still shines within you.
In the emptiness, I find a strange peace,
For love's gentle essence will never cease.

Though lost in the shadows, I’ll carry you near,
In the depths of my soul, forever you'll be here.
For even in absence, our bond will endure,
A testament to love that forever is pure.
