In shadows of what might have been,
Lies the ache of dreams unseen.
Lost in the echoes of time's refrain,
A sorrow lingers, like a silent pain.

Fleeting moments, like shifting sand,
Slip through fingers, beyond our hand.
The past, a ghost we cannot mend,
The future's hope, we cannot defend.

Yet in the stillness of the night,
We find the strength to face the light.
For what once was, and what may never be,
We hold in our hearts, for eternity.
