Shadows

She is fading

Yesterday's hang in the air

Threatening to take her

She grows fainter

Back then she seemed so clear

But distance spreads out

It's been 3 years.

And I am here clinging to shadows

Grasping memories

Holding moments

Imagining our lifetimes

Now just trapped in photographs

Now just trapped in minds

She is fading

She is fading

And I am not far behind.

She is fading

And I am here wondering

Why lights that shine so brightly

Have to fade

Why everything fades eventually

Why I grow old

While she is 28 eternally.
