a requiem for us

A Requiem for Us

I remember how it used to be,
Just you and me, beneath the willow tree.

I miss you—oh, can't you see?
Here with you, yet so far from glee.

You said, "You make me happy," with a smile,
Now those words drift, lost in the aisle.

In moonlit nights, our secrets shared,
Whispers of love, promises bared.

But time slipped through like grains of sand,
Leaving me here, alone to stand.

"I miss you,"—a whisper in the dark,
A lonely, melancholic spark.

Your eyes, once a haven, now a distant shore,
Holding echoes of love we knew before.

The joy we painted—colors now gray,
Fading like dreams at the break of day.

"You make me happy,"—a refrain so sweet,
Now a bitter taste, a quiet defeat.

Can we turn back to where we belong?
Rekindle the embers, revive our song?

In the silence, let's rewind the clock,
Find the pieces of us in this heartache talk.

Yet shadows linger, a silent plea,
For the love we had—just you and me.

Happiness, a melody lost in the night,
Drowned in the tears of a love in flight.

Your words, like petals, fell one by one,
Leaving me here, alone, undone.

And though you're near, a distant shore,
Our love has changed—forevermore.

In the echoes of "I miss you and me,"
A diary of pain, a soul set free.

The words I write without thinking,
Bearing the weight of dreams slowly sinking.

A requiem for love, a heartfelt decree—
For the girl with a broken heart, for you and me.
