Your absence is a shadow That follows me wherever I go A reminder of what's lost A longing that refuses to let go In the quiet hours of night Your memory is my only light A guiding star that shines so bright Illuminating the darkness of my plight I miss the way you used to smile The way your laughter made my heart go wild The way your eyes crinkled at the corners tight The way you made me feel like everything's alright I recall the whispers in my ear The secrets shared, the laughter, and the tears The way you'd hold my hand, a gentle grasp A love so strong, it would forever last In every moment, I feel your space A void that's left, an empty place I search for solace, a comforting thought But without you, my heart is caught In the rhythm of the rain I hear your voice, a sweet refrain In the melody of the wind I feel your touch, a love that never ends Missing you is a hollow pain An ache that echoes through my brain But even in your absence, you're still mine A piece of my heart, a love that's divine Time may separate us far apart But in my dreams, you're still in my heart I'll hold on to memories of our past And cherish every moment that will forever last In the silence, I'll whisper your name And hope that somehow, someway, you'll hear the same And though we're apart, my love will remain A constant flame, that guides me through the pain.
