The Place I Still Return To

I keep returning to the place your smile once stayed,

where sunlight touched your face like a gentle vow,

and every step I take feels somehow delayed.

The memories whisper in the corners we made,

soft echoes that follow me even now.

I keep returning to the place your smile once stayed.

I walk the old path where our shadows played,

two figures holding hope without knowing how,

and every step I take feels somehow delayed.

Your voice still lingers in the dreams I replayed,

a quiet song drifting through a forgotten bough.

I keep returning to the place your smile once stayed.

I try to move on, but the past has me swayed,

pulling me back with a weight I still allow,

and every step I take feels somehow delayed.

The heart is a map of roads we never strayed,

paths I still follow though time won’t allow.

I keep returning to the place your smile once stayed,

and every step I take feels somehow delayed.
