Between the fading night and pale moonlight, You whispered softly, \"Hold on tight.\" But your love was like a fleeting glow, A fragile thread that let me go. Your touch was silk, delicate and thin, A fleeting echo beneath my skin. Each word you spoke, a sweet charade, Truth hidden deep in lies you made. You are the fleeting shadow in my heart, A fleeting warmth that drifts apart. I fell for arms that felt so true, Only to find they were never you. Now the night bears your lingering trace, A fleeting ember in time's embrace. Your shadow lingers, tender and near, But fades the moment I draw near. You’re like a mirage in the blazing heat, A vision I chase, but cannot meet. Each step I take leads back to you, A phantom waltz in shades of blue. You are the fleeting shadow in my heart, A fleeting warmth that drifts apart. I fell for arms that felt so true, Only to find they were never you. You are the fleeting shadow in my heart, A fleeting warmth that drifts apart. I fell for arms that felt so true, Only to find they were never you. As tides pull shadows from the shore, I see your face, but you’re no more. A fragile glow, a fleeting hue, Forever lost, forever you.
