You were not the end of my story,
but you were everything in between.
Every chapter felt alive with you,
every silence carried meaning unseen.
You came into my life like a sudden dawn,
bright, unexpected, impossible to ignore.
And even when you left, you didn't really go,
you stayed in ways I had never known before.
You taught me love in its purest form,
and pain in its quietest disguise.
You showed me how deeply a heart can feel,
and how silently it learns to rise.
I may not hold your hand again,
may not hear your voice the same way,
but what you gave me lives within,
in every step I take today.
You were not forever in time,
but in meaning… you always will be.
