The Last Look You Gave Me

Your eyes found mine across the room

A fleeting spark before the gloom

No words escaped, but I could tell

You’d already chosen to say farewell

The space between us felt so wide

Though you were standing by my side

I memorized that quiet plea

The last look you ever gave to me

I’ve replayed it in the dead of night

In dreams where nothing turns out right

Your gaze still lingers, sharp and deep

A promise broken that I keep

I tried to smile, but it was thin

A fragile shield you could see within

And in that moment, I knew the truth

You were already leaving in your youth

The last look you gave me

Still burns like a hidden flame

It told me more than words could say

That nothing would be the same

If I could turn away, I might

Have spared my heart that final sight

But I stood still, I couldn’t flee

Caught inside your eyes on me

The last look you gave me

Still burns like a hidden flame

It told me more than words could say

That nothing would be the same
