We are fragments, scattered wide,
Like stars that glitter, yet collide.
Each piece a story, old and new,
A puzzle made of me and you.
In whispered words and silent sighs,
In fleeting moments, time defies,
A laugh, a tear, a touch, a glance,
We dance the threads of fate’s own chance.
Through days of storm, and nights so bright,
Our pieces weave in gentle light.
The pieces fall, the pieces rise,
In the quiet of our shared goodbyes.
But somehow still, they always fit,
These broken pieces, perfect, lit—
For in each shard, there’s something true:
A part of me, a part of you.
And though we’re scattered, far apart,
Our pieces echo in the heart.
Together whole, though not the same,
We’re bound forever by our name.
