We once spoke with the sun’s first rays,  
From the moment the dawn broke, till night’s last gaze.  
Our words were like the morning dew,  
A promise of forever, and love so true.  

I’d open my eyes, and there you’d be,  
A soft whisper, a thought, a certainty.  
From morning’s light to the moonlit glow,  
Our hearts in sync, never letting go.  

But now, the silence speaks louder than sound,  
A hollow echo, where once love was found.  
You don’t know what breaks inside of me,  
As I search for you in a world so empty.  

I used to hear your voice in the breeze,  
Now it’s a silence that brings me to my knees.  
You once knew my every joy, every fear,  
Now I wonder if you even know I’m here.  

The days stretch on, yet I feel no time,  
The hours pass like a silent crime.  
Your absence has become my prison,  
A cage of memories, love’s last decision.  

I don’t know where you are, what you’ve become,  
I don’t hear your laugh, no more warmth, no hum.  
I wonder if you think of me, as I think of you,  
Or if the space between us has made us two.  

We used to be more than just breath and bone,  
Now I am a stranger in my own home.  
How did we fall, how did we break,  
When every word we spoke was a vow we’d make?  

The world feels cold without your voice,  
Like a sky without stars, no choice.  
I close my eyes, hoping you’re there,  
But find only silence, and empty air.

If I could reach through this void, this night,  
To hold you again, to make it right,  
I would, my love, though words fail me now,  
I’d find you again, I swear somehow.

But for now, I wait in the quiet space,  
Wishing you’d return, to fill this place.  
The only sound left, my heart’s silent cry—  
For the words we once shared, the love gone by.
