The quiet hum of memories fade,
As distance carves its cruel blade,
And in the hollow of my chest,
Your absence builds a ruthless nest.
Words unsaid still haunt the air,
Like ghostly whispers everywhere,
I reach for you, but shadows fall,
An empty echo answers call.
The days are long, the nights unkind,
Your face engraved within my mind,
A thousand miles, a thousand fears,
A thousand dreams reduced to tears.
I trace the letters of your name,
In hopes the wind might do the same,
And carry it across the skies,
To fall like rain in your closed eyes.
Yet time, that silent, steady thief,
Steals moments, leaves behind the grief,
And though the ache may dull with years,
Some loves are written out in tears.
So if you feel a sudden ache,
A restless heart you cannot fake,
Know somewhere in this world so wide,
A piece of me stays by your side.
