I don’t seek to be your light, nor a shadow heavy at night. If my presence holds you down, I’ll leave before the weight is found. I was proud when time would turn, with the world around us burn. Now I ask in silence deep, if I come close, will your heart keep? Or will silence grow heavier to be? I don’t want to hurt you once more, I’ll keep sorrow outside your door. I know I was more than a name, but not always where it truly came. If your heart now longs for space, I won’t return to crowd your place. And if someday you see me near, don’t be afraid, don’t hold to fear. I’ll smile as though I feel no pain, for love asks not to bind or chain. If I appear, will you smile at me? Or will thoughts grow heavier to be? I don’t want to tie you again, i’ll keep sadness outside your lane. In your eyes I saw the sky, but I could not remain nearby. Love must wander, free to stay, not be trapped in fleeting clay. If someday you recall my face, don’t search for reasons, don’t chase. I was part of your journey’s song, but not the end where you belong. If I appear, will you smile at me? Or will silence grow heavier to be? But if I fade, remember this sign, I held you once, and you were mine. And if I go, don’t let it fall, remember I raised you above it all. Like wind that leaves but still will stay, an echo breathing in your day.
