When every light fades from this world,
A distant wave of longing calls,
It sweeps across the quiet night,
And settles deep within my heart.
Your image flickers, soft and pale,
A fading dream I cannot chase,
Yet still, your voice, so bittersweet,
Keeps echoing within my mind.
Your words once promised we'd never part,
But now they drift like distant stars.
But I'll keep waiting through the night,
Even though your face fades from sight,
I close my eyes to let you go,
Yet all I find are tears that flow.
Without a word of love to say,
You left me in the endless gray,
The silence grew with every tear,
A void where only shadows stay.
Since the moment you disappeared,
I learned the sorrow of goodbye,
Yet still your voice, though far away,
Lingers softly, never to die.
The words you said, "Let's never part"
Are now a broken, distant heart.
But I'll keep waiting through the night,
Even though your face fades from sight,
I close my eyes to let you go,
Yet all I find are tears that flow.
Though my heart is shattered into dust,
I'll rise again, despite it all,
These scars may burn, but I will trust,
In the strength that makes me stand tall.
In dreams you visit me again,
A ghost that lingers in the rain,
Your touch, like mist, slips through my hands,
Yet still, I call your name in vain.
Though time has passed, I still remain,
Waiting for dawn to ease the pain,
But in the quiet, cold and clear,
Your voice still whispers, always near.
But I'll keep waiting through the night,
Even though your face fades from sight,
I close my eyes to let you go,
Yet all I find are tears that flow.
In silence, I'll hold onto you,
Until the stars forget to shine.
A whispered name dissolves like mist,
In echoes where the stars now die.
