I see it in your distant gaze,
The warmth we had has lost its blaze.
Each word you speak feels cold, unclear,
And yet I stay, I hold you near.

I sense your heart is drifting far,
Like a fading, far-off star.
Your smile, once mine, no longer shines,
But still, I trace the fragile lines.

I can’t escape the truth I see,
You're slipping further away from me.
But even as you start to flee,
My heart is bound, it won't break free.

I love you still, with all my soul,
Though time has carved a bitter hole.
I’d hold you close, I’d beg you stay,
But love can’t force what’s gone astray.

So here I stand, a quiet plea,
Loving you, as you're leaving me
