Fading Echoes of Us

Once we were flames lighting up the night,

Two hearts beating, feeling so right,

Found a peace in each other's eyes,

Love so strong, no disguise.

But time, it whispers, softly turns the tide,

What we had, began to hide,

Lost in shadows, drift apart,

Strangers where there once was art.

Searching for the love we knew,

Echoes of me, echoes of you,

Fading memories in the air,

Love once ours, now threadbare.

Can we find what’s been lost,

Melt the cold, pay the cost?

Or are we just echoes of a song,

Trying to hold on all along?

Once in love, now just a dream,

Splintered reflections, torn at the seam,

Hoping one day we might see,

The love that used to be.
