I found you in a sudden burst of light,
Your laughter carried me like ocean wind at night.
Our souls brushed softly, honest and bare,
And for a moment, heaven felt close in your stare.
Every word became a bridge to your world,
Every silence an abyss where my thoughts curled.
I loved your shadow before your face,
Your absence burned me, a timeless trace.
Then suddenly your heart pulled away,
Like winter freezing a forgotten bay.
I reached for you, my hand in the air,
But you stayed distant, fragile, unaware.
I cried for a silence that spoke too loud,
I shook beneath love that never allowed.
Paradox of the heart: to love, yet receive none,
To feel the heat of a fire you cannot run to or become.
And still, within the void you left behind,
I keep our laughter, reckless and kind.
For even lost, your memory stays,
And my paradox heart still sings your name in quiet ways.
