Echoes of you

*(Verse 1)* 
Fourteen years of whispers, hidden in the dark, 
In the corners of my heart, you’ve always left a mark. 
From the first shy glance to laughter shared in time, 
I held a secret close, a love so pure and blind. 
*(Pre-Chorus)* 
Every moment spent, a fleeting chance to show, 
But the words were lost, like petals in the snow. 
Now I stand here, memories wrapped in pain, 
Wishing you could feel the love that still remains. 
*(Chorus)* 
Oh, I miss the way you smelled, like summer after rain, 
The little things we shared, they linger like a stain. 
Even on the bad days, when the world feels so blue, 
I find myself searching for the echoes of you. 
*(Verse 2)* 
We finally dared to dream, the stars aligned so bright, 
With every heartbeat closer, everything felt right. 
But like a flame that flickers, you slipped right through my hands, 
Leaving shadows in my soul, like footprints in the sands. 
*(Pre-Chorus)* 
I thought we built forever, a love that could withstand, 
But life has a way of breaking the plans we’ve made by hand. 
Now I’m left with silence, and the memories we drew, 
Trying to fill the void with the echoes of you. 
*(Chorus)* 
Oh, I miss the way you smelled, like summer after rain,
