"THE ECHO OF US"
In summer’s hush of whispered air,
when days were soft and slow,
You stepped into my quiet world,
a friend who didn’t know.
Your laughter rang like morning chimes,
in light that felt divine,
I never knew that love would bloom
between the stars and time.
You were my anchor, safe and bright,
my shelter from the storm,
In every glance, in every jest,
my heart began to warm.
I watched you live,
I watched you shine,
suppressing what I knew,
The fire grew inside my chest,
yet hid from every view.
Your presence lit up quiet rooms,
your laughter chased the cold,
And every whispered word we shared
felt secrets left untold.
I traced your name on empty lines,
with stars beside each letter,
Imagining the days ahead
where life would feel much better.
We walked beneath the painted skies,
where sunset bled its hue,
And every step I wanted more
a future built with you.
I sang in whispers, soft and shy,
my heart too scared to say,
Yet hoped you’d see the love
I gave in gestures every day.
I poured my soul into your hands,
so silent, soft, and true,
Yet never did you notice
all I'd given up for you.
I danced with dreams of what could be,
of love still left unsaid,
Yet held onto the fleeting hope
it wasn’t lost, but fled.
We spoke of worlds we longed to change,
of journeys far and free,
Yet somewhere in those tangled dreams,
I dreamed you dreamed of me.
I gave you all, my light and dark,
my laughter, tears, and fears,
Not knowing that the love I left
would fade within the years.
I tried to bridge the widening gap
with gifts and tender care,
But somewhere lost and never found,
it vanished in the air.
One step too far, one word too much,
a slip I didn’t mean,
And everything I’d built with you
shattered in between.
I longed to take those moments back,
to fix what went astray,
But every breath that followed
then just pushed you far away.
You turned aside, you looked ahead,
a friend lost in the tide,
And all the years we’d spun in gold
unraveled deep inside.
The night grew long,
the days fell cold
without your voice or smile,
And silence held me prisoner
to mourning for a while.
I stood upon the edge of night,
where broken echoes gleam,
And every star that twinkled by
held whispers of a dream.
I wrote you pages from my soul
in words you’d never see,
And drifted off to daydreams
of the love we’d never be.
I lay awake in endless thought,
my heart too full to rest,
And in the midnight’s quiet ache,
I felt the longing best.
I thought of all we might have been,
the laughter, love, and care,
And wondered how a bond so strong
could vanish in the air.
But in the quiet of my mind,
I built a world so bright,
Where you and I still found our way
beneath the silver light.
I dreamed of hands entwined again,
of love that healed the past,
A world where fate had given back
what once was lost so fast.
In this imagined universe,
no scars were left to bear,
And love remained unspoken yet,
still breathing in the air.
But dreams must fade,
and dawn must rise,
and truth will still return,
For all I built within my mind
must fall and crash and burn.
I know that love, though torn apart,
still lingers, soft yet strong,
And even bonds that break apart
can teach where hearts belong.
And though we're lost,
though paths have veered,
I carry you in me,
A love that taught me
how to live and set my spirit free.
I walk ahead with quiet strength,
where memories entwine,
And though I lost the love I craved,
I learned to cherish mine.
