We're rushing past
Just two inches away
Your name once lingered
in nights it had stayed
Through endless hours,
thoughts consumed
Now I've forgotten,
in choices presumed
In the quiet spaces,
memories fade
In the choices made,
our paths unswayed
Regrets and dreams
intertwined
In the recesses
of the mind
It was wise to let you slip away,
your wandering heart
My words did betray,
in the echoes of our fleeting tune
We both became the past,
too soon
Close encounters,
moments fleet In the dance of fate,
our paths meet
Yet distance grows,
hearts apart A tender touch,
a broken heart
In the quiet spaces,
memories fade In the choices made,
our paths unswayed
Regrets and dreams
intertwined
In the recesses
of the mind
It was wise to let you slip away,
your wandering heart
My words did betray,
in the echoes of our fleeting tune
We both became the past,
too soon
Close encounters,
mere inches apart
Yet destinies diverge
In the heart,
in the silence
We find our peace In the fading echoes,
love's release
