Echoes of Yesterday

Whispers of yesterday, echoes in my mind

Fading pictures, leaving shadows behind

I was loved once, long ago, a gentle flame that knew

A future painted in dreams, I saw it all with you

But time slipped through our fingers, like sands that can't stay still

What once felt so certain, now is a hollow thrill

Looking in your eyes, I see what could’ve been

A faded promise, a silent end beneath our skin

It hurts to know, but I’ve gotta let it go

Even if my heart says no

Breaking free from the ache, learning how to heal

Though the wounds run deep, it’s the only way I feel

Better in the long run, even though it hurts

Loving you in my past, I’ll try to ignore the dirt

Time mends what was broken, scars fade into grace

The future’s unwritten, I’m finding my own space

Love once was a story that I had to rewrite

Farewell to what was, embracing the light

So far away, almost like yesterday

I hold the memories, then I set them free

Learning to love again, stronger with each day

Even if it hurts, I’ll find my way
