In the quiet corners of friendship’s embrace,
A tale unfolds with a delicate grace,
Of a bond that bloomed in a fleeting hour,
Now masked in shadows, slowly losing power.

We laughed, we shared secrets, side by side,
Through whispered words, our hearts did confide,
In a world spun swiftly, where connections grew,
Unaware, we waltzed, entangled, but now I withdrew.

Softly, silently, I began to retreat,
Like a fading star, surrendering its heat,
No longer did I seek the light of your gaze,
My steps grew fainter, lost in the haze.

Like the ebbing tide, I slipped away,
Treasuring the moments, yet needing to stray,
Gradually detaching, unnoticed, unseen,
A friendship undone, like an unraveling seam.

No sudden farewell, no words to betray,
Just a gradual distance, day by day,
I held my silence, kept my reasons veiled,
As I journeyed alone, my heart saddened and frail.

Oh, the ache of letting go, unbeknownst to you,
With each step backward, my heart grew askew,
But I couldn’t bear the weight of false ties,
Nor the burden of emotions veiled in disguise.

Slowly and silently, our paths diverged,
Like whispered promises, no longer urged,
The warmth we once shared, now a distant ember,
A fading memory, a friendship to remember.

You may not perceive the depths of my retreat,
The fading connection, my heart’s bittersweet,
But in the depths of my soul, a void remains,
As I navigate a world no longer the same.

Yet, I cherish the moments we once held dear,
The laughter, the joy, the whispers so clear,
For in this parting, a new chapter unfolds,
As we walk separate paths, as life unfolds.

So, farewell, my friend, in quiet solitude,
May life’s journey be kind, your heart imbued,
With memories of a time when we were near,
Now distant echoes, silently held dear.

In the realms of silence, I bid you adieu,
A friend in my heart, though I fade from view,
This gentle farewell, veiled in the mystic unknown,
A journey unspoken, a friendship outgrown.
