I held you close but then you disappeared,
Your absence leaving my heart drenched in tears.
Now shadows dance where once you stood,
A love once bright, misunderstood.

I search the corners of my weary mind,
For traces of the warmth I used to find.
Fleeting memories whisper in the night,
A ghostly presence, hidden from sight.

The echoes of your laughter, now a thought,
A bittersweet melody that I have sought.
But as the winds of change begin to blow,
