Too Close to Dreams

Your words, like whispers, pull me down,

I chased the truth but lost the sound.

Too close to dreams, too far from real,

A fleeting touch I can’t unfeel.

Too close to dreams, too far from you,

Caught in the fire of what we knew.

Too sweet to hold, too bitter to leave,

Our worlds collide, but we can’t believe.

Your hands were shadows, soft and cold,

In moments fading, stories untold.

The past is fragile, breaking in my hands,

Should I hold on, or let it drift like sand?

I hear the echoes of our steps through time,

Back when your laughter made the world align.

In your eyes, I saw my home so clear,

Now it’s silence that draws me near.

Too close to dreams, but too far to stay,

The lines we drew just fade away.

Staring at the space where you used to be,

Too close to dreams, but far from free.
