With every breath, I feel you fade,
A shadow slipping from my grasp,
In silent nights, my heart has swayed,
To memories that dare not last.

The dreams we built on fragile hope,
Now drift like leaves in autumn’s breeze,
Our hands unlinked, we learn to cope,
With echoes of our past at ease.

In letting go, I find my peace,
A solace in the space between,
Where love once thrived, now finds release,
In whispered winds and skies serene.

So here I stand, with open hands,
Embracing what the future holds,
Though paths diverge in shifting sands,
Your essence in my heart enfolds.
