Echoes of Us
I remember the way you used to look at me,
Like I was your world, like I was all you could see.
Now I'm standing in silence where laughter once grew,
Wondering if I'll ever be whole without you.I trace empty spaces where your hand used to lie,
Feeling echoes of warmth as I try not to cry.
There's a hole in my heart that I can't seem to mend,
A wound that bleeds each time I remember the end.I keep replaying the words that we said,
The dreams we built, the promises kept in my head.
But dreams can shatter, and words can decay,
Leaving scars in the places love used to stay.I'm haunted by memories, by fragments of "we,"
Of the future we painted that will never be.
In the shadows of night, I whisper your name,
In the hope that somehow you feel the same.I wonder if you miss the taste of our kiss,
Or if you even remember what you left like this.
While I hold the remnants of all that was true,
I'm left with the question: did you feel it too?I try to be strong, I try to let go,
But the pain lingers on, and I still don't know
How to fill up the spaces you left behind,
When you walked away with my heart in your mind.I'll heal, I'll grow, I'll find my way,
But a part of me will always stay
In the love we once had, that's now lost and gone—
A faded melody, a bittersweet song.So here's to the love that could never last,
To the broken dreams now buried in the past.
And maybe, someday, I'll find peace anew,
But a piece of me, love, will always ache for you.
