Ghosts of Affection's Past

In the memoirs of my heart's book lies a former flame, A chapter once vivid, now cloaked in complex game. A tale of laughter, whispers in the night, Moments cherished, now distant from sight. Your presence painted hues on life's canvas bright, But fate's brush swept our love into the night. The echoes of your laughter still softly ring, Yet distance wrapped our story in its wing. Time's steady hand has dulled the ache's sharp sting, Memories linger like an old, bittersweet spring. Lessons learned from the story we wove, Reside in the remnants of this erstwhile love. Farewell to the past, its joys and its trials, Lessons embraced, amidst tears and smiles. A past flame, once cherished, now a distant part, A bittersweet memory etched in my heart.
