When you smiled the world grew quiet in a way it never had
as if heaven paused its breathing just to let the moment stay
There was something in your gentleness that softened all my sad
turning all my broken pieces into light along the way
I walked with you through memories that never truly were
imagining a universe where love had found us soon
Each step beside your shadow felt like drifting next to her—
the version of myself who bloomed beneath a kinder moon
If angels write our stories in the quiet after rain
perhaps they placed your heartbeat too far from where I stood
But even late your tenderness rerouted all my pain
and taught me love could still be soft where nothing ever could
In the next life may heaven guide your footsteps gently then
toward the path where I will wait with arms unbroken understood
There you’ll find the warmth you seek in skies beyond our ken—
for loving you has shown me
the softest part of heaven
lives where you once stood
