This poem expresses the gentle pain of a love remembered, still alive in the heart. It shows how moments fade, but feelings stay—how distance can’t erase the influence on our soul.

Through soft echoes, laughter, and unspoken words, the poem reminds us that some connections stay strong, even when time separates them.

# You’re Not Far Away #

A smile once hidden, soft and bright,
Now dances gently in the dark night.
Hands that reached but couldn’t stay
Still whisper softly, “You’re not far away.”

Words left unspoken, dreams untold,
Moments vanished, yet I hold.
The wind brings echoes through the day,
A quiet murmur, “You’re not far away.”

The laughter shared, the tears we knew,
Paint the skies in tender hues.
Though time has stolen some display,
It softly hums, “You’re not far away.”

Shadows fade, and nights grow long,
Yet memories linger, sweet and strong.
Through every dawn, in every gray,
Your voice reminds me, “You’re not far away.”

So I’ll smile through the passing years,
Treasure the joy, embrace the tears.
The time we lost can’t come again—
Yet love still whispers, “You’re not far away.”
