In the crowded room, I stand alone,
Your eyes meet mine, yet feel unknown.
Words float by, unanchored and free,
Echoes of love that used to be.
We walk side by side, miles apart,
Your touch no longer warms my heart.
Silences stretch, vast and wide,
Where once our laughter used to hide.
The moonlight falls on empty dreams,
Reflecting what our love redeems.
Shadows dance where light should be,
In this love that feels so solitary.
Yet hope lingers in the gentle breeze,
Whispering softly through the trees.
For even in this quiet despair,
I find the courage to repair.
