Before you left, we met in fleeting moments, Now, in your absence, you linger everywhere. Once, you were simply you; now, you are the birds, The stars, the flowers, the whispering trees. Before you left, you held a piece of my heart; Now, you are all of it—every beat, all of me. You spoke, and I listened; now, your voice resides In every sound around me. Before you left, we walked this earth as one; Now, you dwell within me, And I am lost in the dream of you.
