You passed me like a breath of spring
No words, no promises, no ring
But in your eyes a story played
A thousand things we never said
We never met again, it’s true
But something lingered so like doom
A touch we never really gave
Still echoes through the love I crave
It was a moment that stayed
Like sunlight caught in autumn shade
Too brave to hold, too strong to fade
A silent vow we never made
Just one small glance, but still it grew
I’ve lived a life remembering you
The world moved on, as worlds will do
And I grew old not knowing you
But every now and then I smile
Like I belonged to you awhile
They say love needs a name, a voice
But some loves never have the choice
They bloom and fade without a sound
But leave their roots deep in the ground
You’re a moment soft and wide
But I have held you all this time
No letters sent, no roads we passed
But in my soul that glance still lasts
A love not lived, but never stray
Just one brief spark
A heart that stayed
