We spoke of this, your moment in the light,
You asked me once to stand there by your side.
Yet now it’s gone, dissolved in silent night,
A dream undone, like tears we tried to hide.

For eighty-six long minutes, I just stared,
My screen, a window to the world you own.
I watched you rise, then fall, then be spared,
A cheering child behind a glass alone.

I hoped you'd send a picture, some small trace,
But found instead this aching, empty space.
You've joined the crowd, I sit without a place,
A ghost who once had love, now lost her grace.

Forgive the hurt I gave, the flaws you see,
There’s still a heart that breaks, and longs for you.
