“Falling, Fading”

We were just kids when love took hold,
hearts reckless, wild, and uncontrolled.
Hand in hand, through summer’s glow,
whispered dreams of where we’d go.

The world was small, but we stood tall,
promising we’d have it all.
Laughter echoed, midnight calls,
love was written on our walls.

But time, it moves like shifting sand,
rewriting things we never planned.
Dreams once shared began to stray,
life pulled us in different ways.

Your laughter changed, so did mine,
the space between grew hard to find.
Silent dinners, separate days,
hearts still close, but minds away.

We held on tight, afraid to fall,
but love’s not love when forced at all.
So, with a whisper, not a fight,
we let go beneath the moonlit night.

No anger, no regret to claim,
just two souls who lost their flame.
Once young, once wild, once so true,
now strangers with a love we outgrew.

Yet in my heart, you’ll always be,
a cherished part of history.
A love once bright, now lost in time,
a bittersweet, unfinished rhyme.
