Late Night Drives
The road seems endless without you,
Headlights cut through the night,
Every mile, a memory,
You once by my side, now out of sight.
City lights blur and fade,
Songs we sang echo still,
Lonely roads and empty seats,
A love I thought time couldn't kill.
Stars above, a distant dream,
Winding paths and silent sighs,
The journey now feels so long,
No comfort in these midnight skies.
Yet in the rearview, I see
Reflections of a time so sweet,
Late night drives with you, my love,
A journey I can never repeat.

Our First Dance
In the moonlight's gentle glow,
We swayed, so soft and slow,
Hands intertwined, hearts on fire,
Lost in a dream, lifting us higher.
Your eyes met mine, so deep,
In that moment, time stood still,
Every beat, every step we knew,
I still love you, and always will.
Now we’re worlds apart,
But that dance, it stays in my heart,
A memory of what was true,
Forever cherished, forever you.

Listening to Your Stories
Missing the way you shared your world,
Your voice a melody so sweet,
In your stories, my heart unfurled.
Through every tale, our love swirled,
Moments and memories, a treat,
Missing the way you shared your world.
Laughter and tears, all emotions hurled,
With each word, our souls would meet,
In your stories, my heart unfurled.
Now silence, with loneliness twirled,
Echoes of your voice, bittersweet,
Missing the way you shared your world.
Pages of life, you gently whirled,
In those times, life felt complete,
In your stories, my heart unfurled.
Still, I miss our days, lips curled,
Dreaming of our past, a retreat,
Missing the way you shared your world,
In your stories, my heart unfurled.

Our Long Walks
There once was a path we would tread,
Where the trees and the wildflowers led,
With laughter and talks,
On our long, cherished walks,
Now those moments replay in my head.
Through forests and fields we would stray,
In sunshine or skies tinged with gray,
Every step, hand in hand,
In a magical land,
Now alone, I still walk that same way.
We discovered new places and sights,
From dawn until soft evening lights,
With you by my side,
The world opened wide,
Now those memories fill lonely nights.
Though the paths are now empty and bare,
And the echoes of joy fill the air,
I miss every trail,
Every laugh, every tale,
For those walks, nothing else can compare.
