The Memorare

I walked through the echoes of silence,

Where shadows still whisper your name.

I knew you before I had met you,

Yet nothing could ever remain.

I dreamed of a love that was endless,

A fate that was woven in gold.

But time is a cruel kind of thief, love,

And stories fade faster than told.

Chorus:

Once in a memory, we danced in the dark,

Lost in a moment that time pulled apart.

I swore that I’d know you in worlds yet unseen,

But love is a ghost of a dream.

The stars used to shine when you held me,

Now night only shivers with cold.

I reach through the past like it’s water,

But nothing will take back the old.

(Chorus repeats)

So walk where the echoes still find you,

Where laughter and longing remain.

Perhaps in a dream, I will meet you—

But nothing will ever remain.
