Voice 1:

I remember the spring, when flowers bloomed bright,

Your laughter, a melody, in the soft evening light.

We danced among tulips, our hearts intertwined,

Now shadows are whispers, of memories enshrined.

Voice 2:

The days grow colder, though summer's begun,

My battles are silent, with each rising sun.

Your strength was my anchor, through tempest and storm,

Now I face this alone, in a world less warm.

Voice 1:

I feel you slipping, a breath, a sigh,

The stars we once wished on, dim in the sky.

Our home, once a haven, echoes with pain,

Your absence a wound, in my heart's fragile frame.

Voice 2:

I fight for each moment, each second with you,

The dawns that we're granted, so precious, so few.

My love, if I falter, if my time should cease,

Know I'll watch over, till you find peace.

Voice 1:

The silence is haunting, the nights are so long,

I reach for your hand, where it once belonged.

Your courage inspires, yet fear grips me tight,

As I face the darkness, without your light.

Voice 2:

In dreams, I will hold you, when reality parts,

We'll meet in the twilight, a realm of pure hearts.

Remember our laughter, the joy and the tears,

Our love is eternal, beyond mortal fears.

Voice 1:

Your words are a balm, in this aching night,

A promise of dawn, a beacon of light.

I'll cherish our moments, till we meet once more,

In a realm beyond pain, on eternity's shore.

Voice 2:

Farewell, my beloved, my spirit stays near,

In whispers of wind, in the night's gentle tear.

Our souls are entwined, forever, always,

In the dance of the cosmos, through endless days.
