A quiet smile, a joy so small
In a bite of chicken, the world would pause
Fingers wrapped around that warmth
A taste of happiness, pure and soft
Sitting close to the old TV
Reading subtitles, slow and steady
Your gentle voice traced every line
Even the worn remote would somehow shine
Though life was humble, each moment we shared
Felt like a drop of rain, tender and rare
Behind the laughter, walls we built
Silent spaces where time stood still
But in our eyes, a quiet plea
Unspoken words, longing to be free
Page by page, we lived through the years
Misunderstandings, heartache, and tears
Shadows of anger, waves of regret
Yet love endured - I won't forget
I won't close this book
For the story lives on, like an endless brook
What you gave me runs so deep
A timeless page of love I'll keep
Wounds we hid beneath the days
Words left unspoken, slowly decayed
But in that moment, our fingers met
Cold hearts softened, no more regret
A breath of forgiveness, warm and true
The final gift I received from you
Only after tears had dried
Did I see the warmth in your eyes
In that moment, time held still
And all the distance quietly filled
Page by page, we lived through the years
Misunderstandings, heartache, and tears
Shadows of anger, waves of regret
Yet love endured - I won't forget
I won't close this book
For the story lives on, like an endless brook
What you gave me runs so deep
A timeless page of love I'll keep
Your love lives on inside of me
Though time moves forward, it will always be
As long as love continues to flow
This story lives on - it will never close
