In the quiet of the evening, where shadows softly creep,  

I find myself remembering, in memories so deep.  

Your laughter like a melody, a song that filled the air,  

Now echoes in the silence, a whisper of despair.  


We danced beneath the starlight, our dreams a fragile thread,  

With every stolen moment, a promise left unsaid.  

But time, that fickle thief, it took you far away,  

And left me with the remnants of a love that couldn’t stay.  


The world feels dimmer now, as if the colors fade,  

Each corner holds a memory, each street a serenade.  

I trace the lines of yesterday, where we once used to roam,  

But now I walk in shadows, in a heart that feels like stone.  


Your smile, a fleeting sunrise, now lost beyond the dawn,  

A chapter closed in silence, a love that lingers on.  

I gather up the pieces, the fragments of our past,  

And hold them close, though knowing, they cannot ever last.  


Yet in the depths of sorrow, a flicker still remains,  

A love that shaped my spirit, that danced within my veins.  

Though you have crossed the river, and I am left behind,  

Your essence weaves through every thought, forever intertwined.  


So here’s to you, my first love, a bittersweet goodbye,  

In every tear that falls, in every whispered sigh.  

Though life may take its toll, and time may steal away,  

In the garden of my heart, your memory will stay.
