Gone Like Smoke on the Breeze

She drifts through memory like morning mist;
A silhouette in the golden window of time.
Soft laughter lingers where footprints fade;
The echo of her name whispered quiet places.
Conversations unfinished hang in the air;
The sun sets slower on days I remember.
Her smile, during twilight, I watched from afar.
Now gone like smoke on the breeze;
Promises dissolved in late-night silence.
She carries my dreams to distant lands;
I gather fragments, build stories from shadows;
And wonder who she became beyond goodbye.
