Fade Away
The mind plays
Memories of years past
The first kiss
The first love
Your voice fades away
The world is in slow motion
Shooting stars in the distance
I long for you
I yearn for you
Your smile fades away
Eternity is too long
Yesterday wasn’t long enough
To live without you
To live without anyone
Your scent fades away
Between voluntary solitude
And involuntary isolation
A new page
A new chapter
You fade away
