In the quiet of the night, I hear their whispers,  

Echoes of laughter that once filled the air,  

They danced like shadows in the glow of the fire,  

Now just memories, drifting without a care.  

Where are the souls that ignited our spirits,  

Those kindred hearts that walked beside us true?  

With stories woven into the fabric of life,  

We’re searching the stars for a glimpse of you.  

I recall the nights under the wide-open skies,  

When dreams flowed like water and love felt so real,  

With every song sung and each tear that we cried,  

Those souls gave us courage, taught us to feel.  

Now I wander these roads, with a heart full of longing,  

Each step a reminder of the paths we once crossed,  

In the silence, I listen, hoping to find them,  

In the laughter of strangers, or the warmth of the lost.  

So here’s to the souls that made us feel alive,  

To the moments we cherished, the love that we knew,  

Though time may have taken them far from our sight,  

In the depths of our hearts, they’ll forever shine through.
