When We Parted
When we parted, our
hearts still full of love
Even through the
pain, we whispered names above
I cried on streets,
lost where no one knew
Holding broken
pieces—never knowing where they flew.
We walked through
seasons, side by side
Watched the sunsets,
hands in hands, eyes wide
Now dreams feel
distant, scattered like the sea
One took the love,
and walked away from me.
I only hope you find
your peace
Build a life that’s
bright and sweet
Don’t repeat the
wounds we knew
That tore our tender
love in two.
Though we walk on
separate ways
I still wish you
warm, golden days
Though our roads will
never meet
My heart still holds
your memory deep.
I hold no anger—only
the ache
If only you could
love without the quake
If only rage had not
burned through
The most beautiful
things I saw in you.
