I was the dock, you were the ship

Left without a trace, just a slip

In the air, an empty tone

Of a farewell almost unknown

And time, that craftsman of the void

Made absence a companion deployed

Where once a road burned bright

Now only melancholy in sight

The thin line broke, I saw you release

Without strength, I watched you cease

It was your choice, and what hurt most

Was not being able to hold you close

And time, that craftsman of the void

Made absence a companion deployed

Where once a road burned bright

Now only melancholy in sight

Distance is an echo learned

A step back turns to a refrain earned

And the heart, even if it extends

Accepts solitude as it bends

Now I'm a breeze, not the wind

Learned to accept, not rescind

What was pain turned to a moment

That time will fade, an atonement

And time, that craftsman of the void

Made absence a companion deployed

Where once a road burned bright

Now only melancholy in sight

It wasn't a choice, it was a goodbye

From someone who left without a sigh

And in longing, contained pain

I got used to not waiting in vain

Now I'm a breeze, not the wind

Learned to accept, not rescind

What was pain turned to a moment

That time will fade, an atonement

And time, that craftsman of the void

Made absence a companion deployed
