"I love you," whispered in the quiet dusk,
Yet, I penned our finale, a bittersweet husk.
Silent echoes bear the weight of unsaid words,
Unseen, but felt, like the songs of the birds.
A lingering ache, a love's subtle sting,
In the shadows of memory, our dance takes wing.
You, the missing chapter, the right refrain,
In the silence, I wonder, was it a moment in vain?
My heart beckons, a soft plea in the night,
While reason argues, it's a dream taking flight.
In dreams, we'd rewrite the script, 20 a new score,
No broken frames, just love to explore.
Shadows would shy away, your name a sweet refrain,
No longer a prisoner to heartbreak's cruel chain.
If only time could unwind, and fate gently sway,
On that tear-stained day when I let you slip away.
