Every time I close my eyes, your essence lingers near,

Every time I close my eyes, your essence lingers near, Memories intertwined, but the silence brings the fear. Chasing shadows in the night, your silhouette's a ghost, Thoughts of you haunt my mind, it's a love I can't let boast. Tears fall like rain, each drop a whispered tale, Wishing for the moments where our hearts would never pale. Still waiting for the day when fate decides to bend, But every glance at empty space just reminds me of the end. Echoes of your laughter, they dance within my mind, A bittersweet reminder of the love we left behind. Time's a cruel thief, stealing dreams that we once shared, In a world so full of light, but it feels like I'm impaired. Searching for a sign, but the stars won't align, Holding onto hope while your memory's entwined. Each heartbeat's a reminder of what could have been true, Every time I close my eyes, I'm still wishing for you. Late nights, the silence whispers, secrets in the air, Wishing on these memories, like wishes in a prayer. Chasing shadows of moments, replaying the scene, Your laughter's a melody, sweet notes in between. I’m lost in the rhythm, where time doesn’t bend, Searching for the answers that never seem to end. Reflections in the mirror, see your face in the glass, Each glance a reminder of a future that won’t pass. Time flies like the whispers, but my heart stays the same, In this chill of the night, I’m still calling your name. Fading echoes of laughter, like a song on repeat, Every dream that I chase, feels like a bittersweet feat. So I sit with these thoughts, like the stars in the sky, Each heartbeat’s a reminder, just a wish and a sigh. or
