Fading Touch

Your hand slips through mine like rain

Every word fades into pain

I hold you close, then let you go

Love burns quiet, soft and slow

Streetlights paint your shadow long

Every smile feels like a song

But every song has silent breaks

And every heart has walls that ache

I see your eyes in every street

A fleeting glance, a heartbeat fleet

We chase the night, but lose the day

Love whispers, then drifts away

Your hand slips through mine like rain

Every word fades into pain

I hold you close, then let you go

Love burns quiet, soft and slow

Rain drips off the windowpane

Memories linger, mix with pain

I touch your name, it’s barely there

A fragile sound suspended in air

We loved like fire, but burned too fast

Moments beautiful, never last

I walk alone where shadows cling

Haunted softly by everything

Your hand slips through mine like rain

Every word fades into pain

I hold you close, then let you go

Love burns quiet, soft and slow
