Faded Embers

By Aaradhya Prateek

“Between us, a nostalgic tie,

Seemed unbreakable, yet said goodbye.

The smile that lit our sacred space,

Now lost, leaving only empty pace.”

“Life took a heartbroken turn, it’s true,

Our bond, once strong, now frayed anew.

Memories linger, bittersweet pain,

Longing for what can never remain.”

“Time, a thief, stole laughter and tears,

Leaving shadows, doubts, and fears.

Yet, in dreams, I see your face,

A fleeting glimpse of a warmer place.”
