In the quiet of the night, I hear your laughter fade,
Memories of our days together, now just a silent parade.
The paths we walked, now shadowed, once bright,
Losing you, my friend, has dimmed my light.

The echoes of our secrets, shared in trust,
Now linger in the air, turning to dust.
Your absence, a void, so deep and vast,
Leaves me yearning for the days that have passed.

Every place we ventured, now feels cold,
Stories left untold, dreams left on hold.
I trace the lines of friendship, now unseen,
In the labyrinth of loss, where I’ve been.

Though you’re gone, your essence remains,
In the whispers of the wind, in the falling rains.
A friend once near, now a distant star,
Forever in my heart, no matter how far.
