A year’s passed,
but the weight hasn’t lifted,

Your ghost lingers—in every breath,
every second.

I wake to absence,
a hollowness so cruel,

Not knowing where you are feels
like drowning in endless blue.

I search for you in every stranger’s face,
Hoping for a sign, a glimpse, a trace.

But silence wraps tight, cold as night,
The agony of the unknown steals my light.

Memories burn,
a bittersweet curse,

How can time heal when
it keeps getting worse?

Your name’s an echo,
fading in the wind,
But the pain remains,
buried deep within.

A year without you,
and the world feels wrong,

Like I’ve been holding
my breath for far too long.

Wherever you are,
do you feel this too?

Or am I just lost—waiting, waiting for you?
