The old café still whispers secrets of our past The scent of roasted beans a bittersweet repast I see your ghost at our table a memory held fast The laughter and the longing in fragile moments cast My heart aches with whispers of a love that never passed A haunting melody lingering in this shadowed space Your name lingers on my lips a bittersweet solace A phantom love that time won't fully erase I trace the paths we never walked a future lost in space A tapestry woven we walked a future lost in space with "what ifs" and tender grace The ache in my soul paints every empty silent space Did fate play a cruel hand did our paths simply misalign? Or was I too afraid to speak to make my feelings align? Now whispers of doubt cloud this bittersweet design A nagging question of a love that could never be mine I'm haunted by visions of a life we might have aligned A bittersweet symphony of a love lost in endless time The years have drifted by my life took a different turn Yet still a part of me will forever for you yearn You are the echo in my laughter the tear I softly mourn "Was it a fleeting dream or a future I denied?" My mind races with questions trapped by foolish pride This ache for you refuses to gently subside You're a ghost ship on my horizon a love that never sailed A haunting melody on the wind a dream that sadly failed If only I'd been bolder spoken words that never trailed Perhaps our story would have written a different brighter tale But now you're a bittersweet echo with wounds time cannot veil The love that never happened a heartbreaking endless wail As I leave the café behind the shadows paint my way The warmth of our memory begins to fade and fray Yet I'll always wonder forever softly ask and pray What might have been if only we'd dared to truly say The words of a love that now rests in yesterday A bittersweet farewell to the love that couldn't stay
