I still walk the streets we once knew,
Pretending not to look for you.
Every step feels like a memory,
Every breath a silent call.
I tell myself to forget, to move on,
But the heart doesn’t listen, does it?
You were everything I couldn’t hold,
And now, you’re everything I can’t reach.

I see you in the soft glow of evenings,
In quiet places, where the world fades.
You’re the name I don’t say aloud,
A secret I carry in my bones.
I let you go, thinking it was right,
But now, I’d trade anything to go back.
You were the light I thought I didn’t need,
Now, all I have is the dark.

They say time heals, but it doesn’t,
It just covers old wounds in dust.
I touch the past like it’s still here,
Like maybe you’re just a heartbeat away.
I wonder if you ever miss me too,
Or if you’ve locked the door I left open.
I whisper your name to the night,
But the night has nothing to give back.

You were the love I wasn’t ready for,
The dream I woke up from too soon.
I broke something I can’t fix,
Lost something I’ll never find again.
Now, you’re the ache I carry quietly,
A wish I know will never come true.
You’re the story I can’t rewrite,
A chapter closed, but never forgotten.

If you came back,
I wouldn’t ask for much,
Just to stand where you are,
one last time.
No promises, no second chances,
Just one moment where we exist again.
But I know it’s forbidden to hope,
That some things are meant to stay lost.
So I’ll hold this longing close,
And let you live in the silence I chose.
