Fading Echoes

We were golden in the daylight,

Now I’m talking to the night sky.

Your shadow’s in the back of my mind,

But you’re gone, and I can’t rewind.

Every word we said still cuts so deep,

But silence is the loudest sound to me.

You’re a fading echo, slipping through my hands,

Like a song that ends before it ever began.

I reach for the pieces, but they disappear,

It hurts to love you when you’re not here.

Photographs that I can’t delete,

Memories on a broken repeat.

I scroll, I fall, I try to move on,

But my heart still plays our song.

Every street we walked still calls your name,

But nothing feels alive, it’s not the same.

You’re a fading echo, slipping through my hands,

Like a song that ends before it ever began.

I reach for the pieces, but they disappear,

It hurts to love you when you’re not here.

Maybe time will heal, maybe I’ll forget,

But right now, all I feel is the emptiness.

You’re a fading echo, slipping through my hands,

Like a song that ends before it ever began.

I reach for the pieces, but they disappear,

It hurts to love you when you’re not here.

Just a fading echo…

And I’m left alone.
