You’ve been the light of my darkness,

The only glow in the shadows of my life.

I always believed I would walk your path,

Quietly, faithfully—

even if it meant standing beside you in silence.

To simply be near you

was once my most precious dream.

I waited for you my entire life.

I gave you everything I had—

My time, my hope, my heart.

And in return,

you gave me endless hope…

And endless pain.

Six years of waiting,

six years of believing

That something broken could be fixed.

But now, I’m tired.

So, I let you go.

I held on to you for far too long,

Even when you never tried to hold me back.

I was ready to break for you,

while you walked away

As if I meant nothing at all.

I watched everything fall apart in silence.

And now, all I have left

are the Ashes of what we used to be.

It all started on a day that felt completely ordinary—

The kind of day people forget as soon as it ends.

But I remember every detail.

The sky was dull, the air was quiet, and nothing felt different…

Until you walked in.

You didn’t do anything extraordinary.

You didn’t try to stand out.

And yet, somehow, you did.

Maybe it was the way you carried yourself,

like you belonged wherever you stood.

Or maybe it was just me—

Not knowing that my world was about to change.

I didn’t fall for you at first.

There was no sudden moment, no dramatic realization.

It happened slowly, so quietly that I didn’t even notice it beginning.

At first, you were just another face in the crowd.

Then, you became someone I recognized.

And before I knew it,

You became someone I started looking for.

I began to notice the smallest things about you—

the way your eyes softened when you smiled,

the way your voice changed when you spoke about something you loved,

The way you laughed, like nothing in the world could weigh you down.

It was strange.

I had seen people laugh before.

I had heard voices, seen smiles…

But yours felt different.

Yours stayed with me.

Days passed, and without realizing it,

you became a part of my routine.

Not in a big, obvious way—

But in quiet, unspoken moments.

I would look around, hoping to catch a glimpse of you.

I would listen carefully, just to hear your voice somewhere in the distance.

And on the days you weren’t there…

Everything felt slightly off.

Like something important was missing,

Even if I couldn’t explain what it was.

That’s when I knew.

Not all at once,

Butin pieces.

You weren’t just someone I noticed anymore.

You were someone I waited for.

And waiting became my favorite habit.

Every small interaction meant more than it should have.

A simple “hi” could brighten my entire day.

A shared moment of silence felt comfortable instead of awkward.

Even standing near you without speaking felt enough.

I wanted to say something—

To tell you how much those little moments meant to me.

But I never did.

I told myself there would be time.

That I didn’t need to rush.

That some feelings were better left unspoken… at least for now.

So I stayed quiet.

I hid everything behind normal conversations and small smiles,

Pretending that my heart wasn’t racing every time you came close.

And maybe that was my biggest mistake.

Because while I was waiting for the “right Time…

time was quietly slipping away.

And I didn’t realize it then—

but that silence,

The one I thought was protecting me…

was slowly pulling us apart

Before we even had a chance to begin.
