In the quiet of the night, I hear your whispers,
Soft echoes of a love that once was near,
Your laughter now a distant memory,
A haunting melody that clings to my soul.

The days stretch long in your absence,
Each moment a reminder of what was lost,
The world feels colder, shadows grow deeper,
Without your light to guide me through.

I search for you in every corner,
In the faces of strangers, in the songs of birds,
But all I find is the stark reality,
Of an existence now marked by your void.

Yet in my heart, you still reside,
A phantom presence that refuses to fade,
In dreams, you come to me, tender and clear,
Reminding me that love endures, even beyond the veil.
