Shadows of Tomorrow

Amidst the bustling city lights,
I open my eyes and let you go.
Memories of what never was,
Fade away, like the evening glow.

The echoes of your laughter are gone,
A distant frown, mars your face.
We part ways, strangers in the crowd,
Heading to our separate space.

I've let go of what we never had,
The emptiness, your absence brings.
You closed your eyes, oblivious,
To the solitude, your absence brings.

I'll leave your shadow in the past,
No trace of you in my domain.
I'll move forward, with open arms,
In a future, where we never meet again.
