Fading

Soft rain falls on my windowpane,
Whispers of you still call my name.
Every shadow holds a trace,
Of love that time cannot erase.
But the stars don’t shine the way they used to,
And the night feels colder without you.
Oh, love, where did you go?
Fading echoes, memories untold.
I reach for you, but you slip away,
Like the last light of a winter day.
Footsteps linger on empty streets,
Your laughter’s now a ghost in me.
Every song still hums your tune,
But silence always comes too soon.
If I close my eyes, will you be near?
Or just a dream that disappears?
