I was a harbor, you a ship
Departed without leaving trace
The air now holds an empty grip
Of a farewell with fleeting grace
And time, that craftsman of the void
Turned absence into company
Where once a fiery path deployed
Now lingers only melancholy
The fragile thread was torn apart
I watched you drift, bereft of might
Your choice, the dagger in my heart
Was losing hold without a fight
And time, that craftsman of the void
Turned absence into company
Where once a fiery path deployed
Now lingers only melancholy
Distance echoes lessons learned
A step withdrawn repeats its song
And hearts, though stretched and often burned
Embrace the silence, still but strong
Now I'm a breeze, no longer gale
I've learned to yield, to not implore
What once was pain is but a tale
That time will fade forevermore
And time, that craftsman of the void
Turned absence into company
Where once a fiery path deployed
Now lingers only melancholy
It wasn't choice, it was goodbye
From one who left and couldn't see
In longing's grip, my tears ran dry
And taught me not to wait for thee
