I’ve forgotten the warmth
of summer on my skin,
the way the sun once lingered
like a lover’s touch.
Now, I carry winter in my bones,
a cold that settles deeper
with every breath since I left you.

I thought I was strong,
but I have become a shadow,
searching for you in every face,
a ghost chasing echoes of you
in crowded rooms.

I haunt your dreams,
slip into your nights...
