The hours fly by like seconds
As you slip further away from
What we used to be

I grieve each second and double
That for each hour
That passes
For the loss of your love
A whispered promise of forever
Made into a lie
That will haunt me
Like ghosts of love often do

I will search for you
In my dreams
Where love lives
After it dies
And in them, I will hold you
Once again

My heart will continue to beat
To the whispered promises
You made to it
And I will continue to love
You
Until all my hope fades away
