The whispers on the porch, they call my name,
As the river flows, it carries all my shame.
Your shadow dances lightly in the fading light,
But the heartbeat of the night pulls me back into the fight.
Stars are shining bright, but they're a world away,
Each twinkle holds the memories of the words we couldn't say.
I'm longing for your laughter, just a touch away from me,
But the distance between us is a cruel melody.
Every breeze that passes seems to whisper your song,
Echoes of your presence linger, though the nights feel long.
I watch the water shimmer with the moonlight's gentle grace,
Hoping for a moment where I can see your face.
In the silence of the evening, my heart begins to yearn,
For the times we spent together, oh, how I've learned.
The seasons come and go, but the feelings always stay,
And the heartbeat of this porch reminds me of the day.
So I sit and watch the river, as it flows without a care,
While your shadow's memory lingers, like a breath of springtime air.
I’m longing for the future, but I’ll cherish what we had,
With each whisper on the porch, I’ll hold on to the glad.
Though the time may lead us down different paths to roam,
I’ll keep the spirit of our love as my eternal home.
As I listen to the river and the night begins to glow,
I'll find peace in the memories, and let my heart let go.
