Evanescing

Growing up in empty halls, where dreams rise and fall

A fleeting glimpse, a forgotten name in the world’s endless call

Time moves like a thunderstorm, winds of change so fast

Searching for the fragment of what I couldn't grasp

Fading figures in the mist,

Caught between the then and now —

Holding onto fragments,

Wondering how…

Of all my regrets, when they ask, I say:

My biggest one… was letting you get away..!

You were the one that slipped away when I was still learning to fly

A memory in my mind, but now I cry

The one that got away, while I was still growing inside

Lost across the tide, the reason I die….

Regretful words like a knife, cutting sharp and cold,

Moments I wish I could keep, the stories left untold.

In darkness I awaken, your face in the rain,

Memory fading each day, yet bound by the pain.

Time’s relentless river flows,

Carrying what will never last.

Chasing all that’s lost,

Day after day it drifts so fast.

Am I so hopeless, still chained to the past?

Remembering the time… you got—AWAY!

You were the one that slipped away when I was still learning to fly

A shadow in my mind, a silent cry

The one that got away, while I was still growing inside

Lost across the tide, the reason I cry

Futility and hope collide, a paradox so raw

Finding strength in the scars, in the flaws I saw

Every lesson, every tear, forged my sense of being

Yet the love that fled still haunts, forever seeing

Now I stand on the edge of what was and might have been

Growing stronger from within, but still feeling the sting

You were the one that got away, when I was yet to understand

But I wake from my nightmare, a second chance

I see you beside me, a future that may

Now I won’t let you be, the one that got…away….
