A LOVE THAT NEVER WAS

I whispered your name into the wind, But it carried no echo back to me, Like waves that kiss the shore at dusk, Yet never stay just meant to be. I traced my love in fleeting stars, Hoping you'd look and understand, But your heart was drawn to distant skies, Where I could never place my hand. I built a home in longing's glow, A place where dreams and shadows blend, Yet every door remains a jar, For love that starts but cannot end. I was the song you never heard, The quiet ache behind your smile, A moment's warmth, a passing thought, A love that lived for a while. So now I walk where echoes fade, A stranger to the past I keep, Loving you in silent ways, In dreams where ghosts must weep.
