Shadows long, they stretch and creep Across the memories I keep Your face, a ghost, a whisper faint Etched in lines, a silent plaint I trace the edges of the past A fragile hold, not meant to last The weight of what we left behind A heavy burden on my mind But something shifts, a subtle breeze Rustling through the ancient trees Of sorrow rooted, deep and wide A current turning, deep inside I'm letting go, the echoes fade The silent promises we made No longer bind, no longer sting Just empty spaces, nothing to bring This hollow ache, it starts to cease Finding solace, finding peace In the quiet where you used to be Finally, finally free The whispers turn to silent air No longer haunted by despair Each passing moment, soft and slow Watching the last embers glow The phantom touch, the faded light Recedes into the endless night A different strength begins to bloom Dispelling shadows from the room And though the scars may still remain They tell a story, ease the pain Of lessons learned, of battles fought A new beginning, bravely sought I'm letting go, the echoes fade The silent promises we made No longer bind, no longer sting Just empty spaces, nothing to bring This hollow ache, it starts to cease Finding solace, finding peace In the quiet where you used to be Finally, finally free Through the mist, a clearer view Of who I am, and what is true The shattered pieces, rearrange Embracing quiet, welcoming change No more holding on to sorrow's thread Only the future, lies ahead I'm letting go, the echoes fade The silent promises we made No longer bind, no longer sting Just empty spaces, nothing to bring This hollow ache, it starts to cease Finding solace, finding peace In the quiet where you used to be Finally, finally free Finally free, the echoes gone Embracing dawn, moving on The silence speaks, a gentle plea Finally, finally free
