I still recall a distant light

A quiet glance, a fleeting night

You passed me by like summer air

And left a feeling lingering there

A voice I almost couldn’t hear

Still echoes softly through the years

Like something lost I couldn’t hold

A spark that never turned to gold

Time went by, the world moved on

But somehow you were never gone

I still recall you in my mind

Like a dream I couldn’t leave behind

In the silence, in the dark

You’re the echo in my heart

I still recall the way you were

Every word I never heard

Though the moment slipped away

You’re the one who chose to stay

There were days I lost the light

Faded into endless nights

Every hope I set aside

Every tear I tried to hide

Then your memory returned

Like a fire that slowly burned

Not to break me, not to stay

Just to guide me through the grey

Through the noise, through every fall

You were there beyond it all

I still recall you in my mind

Like a dream I couldn’t leave behind

In the silence, in the dark

You’re the echo in my heart

I still recall the way you were

Every word I never heard

Though the moment slipped away

You’re the one who chose to stay

Maybe we were never meant

To be more than what it meant

Just a moment, just a spark

Still you linger in my heart

I still recall…

Through it all…

You’re the quiet I can’t lose

The one I never got to choose
