We promised on so many things,
laughed on calls, let our hearts
take wing,
Made love through late-night
texts so deep,
In those quiet moments, we'd
laugh and leap
But shadows fell upon our light,
Darkness crept into our night,
The dreams we cherished,
so sincere,
Now whisper echoes of our fear,
Our promises are scattered and torn,
The laughter and love, now forlorn,
We're lost in the haze of
what we knew,
Uncertain of a future, once so true,
Every moment that we shared,
Every secret,
every care,
Now feels like ghosts of yesterday,
In the darkness,
they've slipped away,
The paths we walked, now cold and stark,
Our future's dim,
swallowed by the dark,
What was once bright and clear
and near,
Now fades into the silent
tear,
