Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I held onto the spark like it was all I had, Afraid if I let go, I just might forget what we had. But the fire burned quiet, then flickered low, Leaving embers where the warmth used to glow. I tried to protect what time can’t defend, But love that’s held tightly can’t always mend. Now I see what I couldn’t back then— Some sparks are meant to drift with the wind. [Chorus] You were my fire, now we’re fading again, Like ashes in the wind, carried far by the end. I’m learning to let go, not holding you inside, So you can burn brighter somewhere else in life. [Verse 2] You gave me a light I still carry in part, But holding it close only blisters my heart. I prayed that the flame would never go cold, But sometimes love needs to loosen its hold. You deserve more than a ghost in the flame, More than the echo of a whispered name. So I’m opening my hands to the sky, Letting the smoke be my last goodbye. [Chorus] You were my fire, now we’re fading again, Like ashes in the wind, carried far by the end. I’m learning to let go, not holding you inside, So you can burn brighter somewhere else in life. [Bridge] Maybe one day, I’ll see where you stand, A wildfire blooming in a distant land. And I’ll smile through the tears I held in, Knowing love doesn’t end—it just shifts with winds. [Chorus] You were my fire, now we’re fading again, Like ashes in the wind, carried far by the end. I’m learning to let go, not holding you inside, So you can burn brighter somewhere else in life. [Outro] So goodbye, my love, I’ll set you free, No chains, no flames—just memory. And though it hurts, I’ll breathe again, Watching you rise… like ashes in the wind.
