Shadow Of You

I still hear your voice in the quiet nights, a shadow of your laughter, a flicker of your light.

I trace your steps in every memory; you were more than family, you were a father figure, a guide, the strength I leaned on.

The years have passed, and still the ache remains, like an echo that never fades, like a question that never got its answer.

I don’t understand why you had to go, why fate chose silence when I needed your words, why the world kept turning when you stopped breathing.

And I try to be strong, I try to carry on, but your absence echoes in every corner of my life, in every song that speaks of loss, in every sunset I watch alone.

You were my guiding light through storms I never saw coming, through nights that felt too heavy to survive.

Every lesson you taught me, every laugh we shared, every word of wisdom you gave, I carry with me like a fire in my chest, a compass that still points to you.

I see your face in the quiet moments, in the sound of your favourite songs, in the way love still feels like both a comfort and a wound.

Time never healed me, it only made the longing quieter, sharper, more familiar.

I whisper your name when the world feels cold, because love like yours never dies, it becomes part of the air I breathe.

I don’t understand why life took you so soon, but I know your love remains, it always shows.

And I walk forward with you in my heart, forever in sight, forever guiding me when the night is long and the world feels too heavy.

Sad, slow, powerful, emotional, raw, heartfelt, reflective, intimate, deep, cinematic, soulful, tender.
