Love Poem: Ghost of us

Ghost of us

Verse]
Through the halls of trade school, I first saw your light,
Back when we thought forever felt so right.
You were a boy dreaming, I quietly fell,
In the silence, my heart whispered a story to tell.

[Verse]
Years rolled by like waves, you chose a different fight,
A sailor in blue, chasing stars through the night.
I yearned for your gaze, felt the distance grow wide,
In the spaces between, my love I'd never hide.

[Chorus]
You’re a ghost in my heart, fading in and out,
Should I whisper my confession, or drown in my doubt?
Oh, love unreturned, your canvas painted me,
Lost in this heartbreak’s art, still longing to be free.

[Verse]
You took to the oceans while I was left ashore,
Thought I lost you to time, but I wanted you more.
A tattoo on my soul, every mark tells our song,
With each stroke of your life, I’ve been right here all along.

[Chorus]
You’re a ghost in my heart, fading in and out,
Should I whisper my confession, or drown in my doubt?
Oh, love unreturned, your canvas painted me,
Lost in this heartbreak’s art, still longing to be free.

[Bridge]
I’ve carried the scars of a life bittersweet,
Trying to heal, trying to stand on my feet.
When you’re ready to break through the silence we’ve shared,
Just know I’ll be waiting, with arms always bared.

[Chorus]
You’re a ghost in my heart, fading in and out,
Should I whisper my confession, or drown in my doubt?
Oh, love unreturned, your canvas painted me,
Lost in this heartbreak’s art, still longing to be free.

[Outro]
So let the waves crash loud, I’ll be here in the storm,
For every path you wander, my heart will keep you warm.
When the stars align and time calls out your name,
I’ll be the one waiting, love won’t be the same.
