Ephemeral

Sunset on the Beach/ Dok.VISI/ Hotma Maureen

 

Every song has its end.
Planets never stay in their place.
Huckleberries started to turn rotten.
Every runner is losing their pace.
Memories are slowly being forgotten,
Everything feels empty.
At that restaurant, you still sit unspoken.
And I recall every time we were happy.
Loving you was ephemeral.

Now the coffee has grown completely cold.

That coffee shop is where our souls part.

A wonderful story that was left untold,

Leaving a deep mark in my heart.

 

The photographs are fading on the wall,
Like the promises you once gave your all.
I trace your name across the window pane,
But every letter disappears with the rain.

The moon still shines above the empty street,
Yet somehow, nothing feels complete.
I walk the roads we used to know,
Searching for a place we could still call home.
But every corner whispers your name,
And every silence makes me feel the same

The ticking clock remind me of our past.

The beautiful pieces of us didn’t last.
