1

I loved like rivers love the sea,
Never asking what returned to me.
I built my home from borrowed light,
Then watched the dawn erase the night.

Some hearts are fires.
Mine became rain.
Falling softly,
Still carrying pain.

If you hear my name tomorrow,
Let it drift like autumn leaves.
Not every ending asks forgiveness.
Some simply ask to leave.

I chased the stars until my hands
Forgot the warmth of holding mine.
I counted every shattered dream
Like sacred verses lost to time.

Love was never my mistake.
Only believing it could stay.
Nothing living keeps the spring.
Every blossom learns decay.

So don't build monuments for me.
Plant a tree where silence grows.
Let strangers rest beneath its shade
Without needing what they owe.

If I taught you anything,
Let it be this:
Hold gently.
People are not possessions.
Time is not an enemy.
Even broken songs
Still teach the birds to sing.

When the evening folds around the hills
And every color fades to blue,
Don't think I vanished with the light.
Think of all I carried through.

Some stories aren't meant to be won.
Some candles burn so others see.
The moon was never less for leaving;
It simply trusted morning with the sky.

And if my voice becomes the wind,
Don't chase it.
Just breathe.
I'll be somewhere between
The things we lost
And everything we learned to love.
