When We Two Parted

When we two parted in silence and tears, The years between us heavy with fears, Our hearts, once bound by love’s sweet thread, Now lie in shambles, the passion fled. The days we shared, so bright, so true, Now lost in shadows, faded hue, We once were one, a perfect pair, But time has stolen what was rare. Your touch, once warm, now cold as stone, The love we knew, forever gone, In whispered words, we said goodbye, No more to laugh, no more to cry. The nights we spent beneath the moon, Are echoes now, a distant tune, The dreams we dreamed, they turned to dust, In broken promises, lost our trust. When we two parted, the world stood still, The empty spaces, the aching fill, For all we had, and all we lost, Was the price of love, a heavy cost. Yet in my heart, your name will stay, A ghost of love that slipped away, For though we part, and paths diverge, Your memory, in me, will surge. So fare thee well, my once dear friend, Our love, now reaching its bitter end, But in the silence, in the pain, I’ll carry you, till we meet again.
