You left, leaving traces that can never be erased.
In the quiet space, I ask the wind,
Do you hear the prayers I whisper every night?
Or have you already sunk into eternal peace?
Your face, once always near,
Now only a memory I hold.
Your steps, once side by side with mine,
Are now just echoes in every passing second.
This longing wraps around me like the night,
Yet your hand no longer holds mine.
No smile to soothe me,
Only emptiness filling every space we once created.
You are gone, leaving a world I can’t understand,
Yet your love remains in every breath I take.
Forever, in my heart that is now incomplete.
Forever—though you’re gone, you still exist.
