About Someone
Fading Echoes
Your absence echoes in the silent night,
Like whispers of a melody lost in flight.
Memories linger, tender and bittersweet,
Longing for your laughter, our hearts to meet.
About Someone
Empty Spaces
In the spaces between heartbeats, you reside,
A ghostly presence, in memories that abide.
Each passing day, a longing deep and wide,
For your smile, your warmth, once by my side.
About Someone
Vanishing Dreams
Dreams of you, fleeting as morning mist,
Slipping through fingers, a tender twist.
Yet in my heart, you linger still,
A whispered promise of love, unfulfilled.
About Someone
Ghost of the Fridge
Where'd you go, my midnight snack thief?
Fridge door creaks, it's beyond belief.
Missing you and your sneaky ways,
Now my cheese lasts for days.
No more crumbs left in a trail,
Midnight feasts, oh what a tale.
Come back soon, my fridge haunter,
For snacks with you were always grander.
About Someone
Pillow Partner
My bed's so empty, it's so sad,
No one to steal the covers I had.
Missing you, my blanket bandit,
Come back soon, you rascal, dagnabit!
The nights are long without your snore,
I even miss your midnight roar.
Return, my cozy cover thief, and end this chilly grief.
About Someone
Echoes of Absence
In the quiet of the night,
Your memory burns bright.
I feel your laughter in the wind,
Your shadow in the stars pinned.
Though distance parts our mortal ties,
Your essence in my heart never dies.
Each day I yearn, each night I sigh,
Waiting for the day we reunite on high.
The moments shared, now whispers past,
In dreams, your presence still does last.
Time and space may intercede,
But my heart's longing does not recede.
