You fell first, I fell harder,  
In your arms, I swore forever.  
You spoke of love like a promise kept,  
I swore I'd stay, no matter what was left.  

We whispered dreams in the quiet night,  
Held each other in borrowed time.  
But I blinked, and the days ran fast,  
I never saw that love won’t last.  

"Date to marry," you used to say,  
I held your words like light in gray.  
"I'll never tire," I swore to you,  
But now you're gone, and it's still true.  

Did I waste the days we had?  
Did I lose you to my own hands?  
Now you're moving, light and free,  
While I’m drowning in memories.  

But every night, you're still right here,  
A ghost that whispers in my ear.  
Not flesh, not bone, but still you stay,  
In every dream that won’t decay.  

Your laughter lingers in the dark,  
Your voice still sparks a dying spark.  
I close my eyes, but there you are,  
A phantom love, a haunting scar.  

You're somewhere new, you're someone’s peace,  
And I'm still stuck in what we missed.  
You fell first, I fell apart—  
And now I'm left with my own heart.
