Mira Hart - Journeys - 4 Fading

I saw you today, after all these years,

A face from the past, brought back the tears.

You looked the same, but your ring caught my eye,

A silent reminder of love’s last goodbye.

Your smile, it took me back to our days,

When love was simple, and hearts were ablaze.

But now you’ve moved on, and I’m still here,

Holding on to memories, so painfully clear.

Fading shadows of yesterday, haunt me still,

I loved you then, I guess I always will.

Seeing you happy, it tears me apart,

Fading shadows of yesterday, breaking my heart.

Your laughter filled the room, like a familiar song,

I watched from afar, where I don’t belong.

She held your hand, a picture so sweet,

A love story perfect, but incomplete.

I should let go, find peace in the past,

But your memory lingers, a love that won’t last.

Every smile, every glance, a wound so deep,

In the silence of night, it’s you I still seek.

As you walked away, I whispered a goodbye,

To the love we had, to the tears I cry.

But the fading shadows of you, they won’t fade away,

In the corners of my heart, forever you’ll stay.
