Fading Memories

The dusty photo album, a treasure chest of time
Each picture whispers stories, a love that once did shine
Your smile, a captured moment, a warmth that used to be
Now just a faded echo, a memory haunts me

Fading memories, like colors in the rain
Slowly washing away, leaving behind the pain
The sound of your laughter, a distant, fading song
A love we built together, now somehow feels all wrong

Empty chair by the window, where we used to watch the stars
Silence hangs heavy, like a weight that never departs
The scent of your perfume, a phantom on the breeze
A constant, cruel reminder, of what used to bring me ease

Fading memories, like colors in the rain
Slowly washing away, leaving behind the pain
The touch of your hand, a fading, fleeting ghost
A love we shared so deeply, forever seems the most

I close my eyes and try to hold on tight
To the feeling of your presence, the warmth of your guiding light
But time marches forward, relentless in its flow
And the past keeps slipping further, where the whispers softly go

Fading memories, like colors in the rain
Slowly washing away, beneath a tearful sky
And as the sun sets low, painting colors in the west

Though the memories may fade, the love will never die
A part of you lives on within me, beneath a tearful sky
And as the sun sets low, painting colors in the west
I'll hold onto the best, forever etched within my chest
