Paper hearts and broken pens, all the words I kept within. I wrote your name on the corner of a page, While the sirens sang outside again. Smoke on the windows, ashes in the rain, But I still whispered you like a prayer, anyway. If I had one more sunrise, I’d run back home, Tell you every secret I’ve never shown. But time was cruel, and I just froze Watching everything I loved turn into ghosts. These are the letters we never sent, Ink-stained tears on every sentiment. Folded dreams in my trembling hands, Addressed to a world I can’t go back to again. If you read this on some quiet night, Know I loved you beyond the fight. Even if the words never found your door They were always yours. There’s a picture of us in the summer light, Before we learned how to say goodbye. Your laughter still lives in the back of my mind, While the world keeps burning outside. I kept your letters in a metal box, Hidden deep where the memories locked. Wish I could send one more reply, But all I do is write and cry. These are the letters we never sent, Ink-stained tears on every sentiment. Folded dreams in my trembling hands, Addressed to a world I can’t go back to again. If you read this on some quiet night, Know I loved you beyond the fight. Even if the words never found your door They were always yours. If the wind ever carries this to you, Let it hold the truth I couldn’t get through. War took time, but it couldn’t take you You’re still the home I’m running to. These are the letters we never sent, Every word a monument. To the life we lost, the love we meant, To the silence that we can’t forget. So if the stars ever call your name, I’ll be light inside your pain. Even if we’re worlds apart You’re still written on my heart. Maybe one day they’ll understand… love survives where wars began.
