Once, I dreamed about tomorrow
About laughter, traveling, growing
About all the places life could lead
With you beside me 🌅

But now my dreams drift backward
Like dandelion seeds on a soft wind
Carrying me into memory
Where you still exist

The past becomes warm again
Filled with your voice
Your smile, your footsteps
Your presence that time stole

I watch the seeds float upward
Little flecks of light in the dusk
And I wonder if they reach you
Wherever you are now 🌬️

Nostalgia wraps around me
Gentle but heavy
A reminder that love endures
Even through longing

I used to dream forward
Now I dream to remember
Because memory is the only place
I can still find you

Some goodbyes linger quietly
Settling into the tender parts 🌙
Soft as dusk, heavy as longing
A memory held close.

I carry you with me daily
In moments big and small 💔
In every gentle breath
And every wish for one more day.

The fields feel emptier now
But love still sits beside me 🐇
In shadows, in silence
In the kindness we once shared.

Until the day we meet again
I’ll hold you in my heart’s pocket ❤️
A story unfinished
But never forgotten.

I miss your laughter through the rain, 🌧️
Your voice that soothed my every pain. 💞
The way your eyes could light the room,
And chase away the darkest gloom. ✨

Your wit would spark, your smile would glow, 😊
A warmth the coldest heart would know.
You found the joy in all you knew,
And made the ordinary new. 🌈

I miss your stories, half untold,
Your gentle heart, your soul of gold. 💛
The quiet moments, soft and few,
Where time stood still — just me and you. ⏳

It’s not the grandest things I mourn,
But simple love that I’ve forlorn. 💔
For in those pieces, bright and true,
I lost my heart — it went with you. 🌹

You told me once to stand so tall, 💪
To face life’s pain when tears would fall. 💧
I never knew just what you meant,
Until the day your time was spent. 🌙

Now every dawn, I hear your tone,
Saying, “Be strong, you’re not alone.” ☀️
Though grief still grips my trembling hand,
I try to do the best I can. 🕊️

You must have known this day would come,
When I’d be left, when you’d be gone.
You taught me faith, you taught me grace,
To see your love in every place. 💛

So now I rise, though broken still,
I walk with courage, through sheer will.
Your strength became my guiding art,
It lives within my grieving heart. 🌹
