Armour's Echo Endures

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.
