Subject: The haunting memory of a past love

Every night you always find your way back,

A shadowed figure on a moonlight track.

The nights I thought I’d forget,

You appear, like an old, unspoken regret.

The past grips me like an unforgiving tide,

No matter how far I run, no matter how far I’ve tried.

Was it all just a dream I wish I could reclaim?

Or a memory fading, still calling your name?

Your presence lingers like a ghost in my room,

Your presence fills the air with your subtle perfume.

Why does my heart still ache in the silence of letting you go?

Is it your touch I miss, or the love I used to know?

And in the quiet nights when I close my eyes,

I wonder if the truth is just a disguise.

Were we ever really meant to be?

Or just a passing moment, lost in what could never be?
