"The Truth of Passing Shadows" 

We meet like stars in twilight skies,

Brief sparks beneath life’s vast disguise.

A glance, a smile, a word, a song—

Some stay for short, some stay for long.

They enter soft, like summer rain,

Then drift away through joy or pain.

Like petals borne on morning breeze,

They whisper love, then leave with ease.

Each soul a tale not fully told,

A warmth we tried but couldn't hold.

Some write their names across our skies,

Then vanish with no last goodbyes.

A scarf, a laugh, a shadowed face—

Left in the heart, they still find place.

Not every bond survives the years,

But some return through dreams or tears.

The truth is not in holding tight,

But letting go with grace and light.

Some people pass like fleeting song,

Yet in our souls, they still belong.
