Echoes in the silence of my soul

In the quiet of my room, I hear you call

Echoes in the silence of my soul

Your voice is gone, but memories stand tall

Leaving me with tears and a hollow hole

I think of our laughs, our secrets shared

Why did you leave? My heart is so bare

Your smile lit up my darkest night

Now echoes whisper, "You'll be alright"

I miss your touch, your warm gentle kiss

Life's not the same, it's just not bliss

In the silence, I search for you

Echoes in the silence, my heart is blue

Time keeps moving, but I'm stuck in pain

Wishing you'd come back, but it's all in vain

I hold on to memories, though they fade

Echoes in the silence, my heart's shade

In dreams I see you, feel you near

Waking up's the hardest part, tears appear

But I'll hold on to the love we had

Echoes in the silence, I'll make it glad

I'll learn to breathe, to face the day

Though you're gone, your love won't fade away

In the echoes, I'll find my way

And maybe someday, I'll learn to stay

Lost in thoughts, I find a piece of me

A fragment left, where you used to be

Echoes in the silence, a bittersweet melody

Reminding me of what we'll never see

Some nights, I talk to the stars above

Hoping they'll carry my heart's endless love

I speak your name, and echoes reply

Whispering secrets, only my soul can see

In this emptiness, I'll find a new path

Learning to walk, though your hand's not in mine

The echoes will fade, but love remains

A scar in my soul, where you once remained

And as I walk this lonely road

I'll find my strength in the love we shared, I know

The echoes will whisper, "You are not alone"

And in the silence, my heart will be home
