In the midst of laughter, I hear my silent cries,
The touch of your hand, yet my heart defies,
We share a space, but not the same sky,
Together, but alone, beneath the facade we lie.

Your words are whispers, lost in the breeze,
I seek warmth, but find only a freeze,
Our eyes meet, but the connection is weak,
A love once strong, now fragile and meek.

Nights grow longer, in the silence we sleep,
Dreams once shared, now secrets we keep,
The distance grows, a chasm so deep,
In the heart of togetherness, I silently weep.

Yet hope lingers, a flicker of light,
In the darkest hours, love might reunite,
From the shadows, we might take flight,
And find each other, in the depths of night.
