In the quiet dusk of our forgotten dreams,
Where whispers linger, yet no one hears,
I trace the lines of what could have been,
In the soft glow of faded years.

Your laughter once danced in the breeze,
A melody sweet, now lost to time,
I search the stars for your gentle smile,
But find only echoes of a distant chime.

Beneath the weight of unspoken words,
Our love lies buried, deep and still,
Yet in my heart, a silent yearning,
A tender ache I cannot fill.

As moonlight spills on empty paths,
I walk alone, yet not apart,
For in each shadow, your presence lingers,
In the silent chambers of my heart.
