Beneath a sky of velvet night,
Where stars like secrets softly gleam,
We met in whispers, pure and bright,
And wove our love from dream to dream.

Your eyes, a dance of firelight,
Your touch, a gentle, soothing breeze,
In you, I found my heart's delight,
A world where every moment pleased.

We wandered through the days of gold,
With laughter ringing, hearts so free,
Together, we defied the cold,
And in your arms, I found my sea.

But as the seasons turned and sighed,
A shadow fell upon our sun,
The love that once our hearts did guide,
Now frayed and faltered, came undone.

Words once sweet turned sharp and strained,
Our hands grew cold, the warmth did flee,
And in the silence, love was pained,
A bittersweet, lost melody.

Beneath that sky of velvet night,
Where once our dreams had dared to soar,
We parted ways, a silent flight,
Two hearts now seeking something more.

And though the stars above remain,
Their whispers no more weave our tale,
For in the end, love's tender strain,
Gave way to heartache's mournful wail.
