Mercy in Loves Absence

Though shadows linger where our passions rest, 
I dream of you when moonlight softly glows, 
Perhaps lost love, in truth, was for the best.

We danced in silence, hearts put to the test, 
Each whispered vow a petal, then it goes; 
Though shadows linger where our passions rest.

Our memories drift like leaves, never confessed, 
A longing in the night that no one knows, 
Perhaps lost love, in truth, was for the best.

The promise faded, yet I never guessed 
How gentle the release when sorrow grows; 
Though shadows linger where our passions rest.

Now hope returns with every golden crest, 
A lesson learned as gentle winds compose; 
Perhaps lost love, in truth, was for the best.

So I will let you go—heart unrepressed— 
A wisdom found amidst the overthrows. 
Though shadows linger where our passions rest, 
Perhaps lost love, in truth, was for the best.
