We didn't choose this,

but somehow it happened

pulled by forces we couldn’t fight.

You’re still here with me,

in the smallest things:

a smile, a memory,

a quiet thought that stays longer than it should.

We weren’t meant to end,

but the world had other plans.

Now, all that's left is the space between us

a distance I can’t cross.

Yet even as we part,

you’re in every moment,

in every breath of the life

we almost had together.

I don't know if time will bring us back,

but for now,

I’ll carry you in my heart,

where the world can’t touch usss.
