Armor's Echoes Endure

I only loved you because I still love you, In the hushed hours when night embraces day, A silent longing, unspoken and true, Yet shadows dance where our hearts used to play. Your absence, an ache that refuses to wane, A bittersweet torment, etched deep in my soul, The remnants of love, like whispers in rain, Haunting my thoughts, an unfinished cajole. Each passing moment, a yearning unmet, Echoes of your touch, a soft fading sigh, I loved you, I love you, forever beset, In memories entwined, unable to deny. Fragile dreams we wove, a tapestry worn, Lost in the labyrinth of what could have been, Yet, my heart, against reason, is still torn, For loving you, my love, is a constant, serene. In the vast expanse of time and space, My heart's compass leads me back to your grace, I only loved you, and I still love you, Forever entangled, in love's eternal hue.
