Just yesterday, our silence wasn't vain —
Within that hush, the final heartbeat stirred.
Your hand was warm, but not in mine it stayed,
And in your eyes — farewell without a word.

Your voice grew still, like tea grown cold with time,
No longer did you seek the spring in me.
All I could do — watch fate redraw the line,
Where you’re without me... and I’ve lost my sleep.

That light you hold now shines for someone new,
No longer am I chasing distant smiles.
All I have left — the waves of longing through
Each haunting thought... and silence stretching miles.

You're gone — and I remain between the lines,
Where hearts still whisper all we left unspoken.
And in the quiet, memories entwine —
We’re still together… though long since broken.

That glow now lands on shores that aren’t mine,
I’m not the coast you dream of through the night.
What’s left for me — a silence undefined,
And memories of you fade out of sight.

Love isn’t always cries or final falls —
It leaves us gently, while we still seem whole.
And so we stayed in silence through it all,
Too weak, too hurt to let goodbye be told.
