Once we were the brightest stars,
Shining in the endless sky,
Now our light has dimmed afar,
As we silently say goodbye.

Hearts now speak in muted tones,
Memories haunt like ghostly sighs,
The love that once was flesh and bone,
Dissolves in tears and silent cries.

Paths we walked now overgrown,
By time’s relentless, cruel hand,
Together once, now all alone,
We drift apart like grains of sand.

Yet in the end, we find our peace,
In letting go, we both are free,
For love once lost can find release,
In the quiet of what used to be.
