A shadow danced where light once played
A fleeting touch then slipped away
Soft whispers brushed against my skin
The moment’s gone it won’t begin
The breeze it hummed a tender tune
A secret shared beneath the moon
I reached to catch but it was air
A dream dissolved it wasn’t there
Soft sudden and gone like the rain
A kiss that vanishes leaves no stain
A memory I can’t hold tight
A flame extinguished in the night
The petals fell before they bloomed
A fleeting scent filled up the room
I chased the trace but it was gone
Left only silence in its stead
It’s not the weight it’s not the time
It’s how it slips without a sign
A moment here then fades away
A whisper lost at break of day
Soft sudden and gone like the rain
A kiss that vanishes leaves no stain
A memory I can’t hold tight
A flame extinguished in the night
