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.
