In the quiet moments, when words fade
I find myself holding the echoes of your voice
The air feels heavier, but I know—
There’s a light ahead, though it feels far
The time has come, but the heart won’t let go
I smile through the tears, though they don’t show
Each moment we lived, a story untold
Whispers of the past, in my soul, they hold…they hold
A beautiful future, it calls my name
In the distance, a light that won’t fade
Goodbye isn’t an end, it’s just a breath
A pause, a promise, a step towards what's next
The stars above shine with our dreams
In the sky, they paint the path we’ll take
Though the night is long, and I can’t see
I know we’re walking toward the same place
A beautiful future, waiting for us
A tomorrow where laughter fills the air
Goodbye is just a quiet word
A whisper in the wind, leading us there
...And in that silence
I feel you beside me
Like the stillness before the dawn
I carry your love like the softest song
It guides me through places I don’t belong
The road stretches out, unknown but clear
A future together, just beyond the fear
A beautiful future, we’ll walk into it
Hand in hand, hearts full of light
Goodbye, not forever, but a bridge we cross
A new day is coming, and we’ll be alright
It’s not goodbye, just “until then.”
A beautiful future, waiting for us, again
