I'm not sure I will ever
Bid farewell to you.
I know one day you'd return
In memories of shadows blue.

I will see you
In the silver outlines of the sky,
The tangerine rays disperse
As morning dawns outside my window.

Your smile reflected in a stranger,
Maybe even in my future lover,
That right amount of shyness
Brings warmth in its familiarity.

I will hear from you
Through the lips of friends who
Once stirred the embers,
The ones we still talk to.

In the pages, I'm still with you
These vintage moments sealed,
Recollection of sentiments
No longer belonging to me.

And all the beautiful things
We'll always have,
Because you weren't mine,
I wasn't yours.
