In vein

 

In the blue night, you fade away,
With gentle steps, you slip astray.
I search for you, but all in vain,
A silent chase through endless pain.

When soft winds stir the trees and homes,
Know that I'm coming, though time still roams.
But time divides, it holds us far,
Like distant echoes from a star.

I start my journey through the night,
Forever seeking your lost light.
I think of you, look all around,
But only strangers can be found.

Their puzzled stares, as I await,
For you, who left without a trace.
