Echoes of us

And now
All of us are past
Echoes of laughter, shadows we cast
We walked the streets, our shadows danced
Under the moonlight, romance we chanced

And now, the echoes fade away
Memories like shadows we cast each day
Fading into twilight, as the light is shunned
Clinging to the whispers of victories won

Whispers of forever in the chill night air
Promises made without a care
The laughter of summer, now just a trace
Silence fills the spaces, emptiness we face

Where did the time escape, slipped through our hands?
Like the hourglass with its fleeing sands
We reached for stars, believed in dreams so vast
Now they're remnants, echoes of the past

And now, all of us are past
Memories like shadows that we cast
Fading into twilight, as the day is done
Holding onto echoes of what we've won

Now I walk alone where dreams once flew
Searching for pieces of me and of you
But all that remains is the cold, whispering blast
Murmuring softly
All of us, all of us are past
