Non Est Simulare Te Similis Mei

Street corner cafe, our usual spot
Latte with cinnamon, a detail you haven't forgot
Smiling eyes meet mine, a flicker of recognition
But the echo of your laugh, lacks the familiar ignition

Conversation flows, referencing inside jokes
Places we frequented, the paths we once bespoke
A melody from that night, plays softly in the air
But your voice lacks the rhythm, the way you used to care

Non est simulare te similis mei
The ghost of a memory, haunting what used to be
You mimic my laughter, the smile I used to adore
But the spark has extinguished, and I can't take it anymore

Your hand brushes mine, a gesture once so sweet
Now a foreign touch, incomplete and bittersweet
Weekend getaway planned, the same cabin by the lake
But the reflection staring back, is a stranger's mistake

Movie night cuddled close, popcorn scattered on the floor
The film we watched a hundred times, wanting just a little more
But the silence screams deafening, a void you can't replace
A hollow imitation, a love out of place

Non est simulare te similis mei
The ghost of a memory, haunting what used to be
You mimic my laughter, the smile I used to adore
But the spark has extinguished, and I can't take it anymore

Let go of the echoes, the fragments of the past
This mirrored reflection, a love that couldn't last
There's beauty in new beginnings, in stories yet untold
Don't try to replicate, a love that's grown cold

Non est simulare te similis mei
The ghost of a memory, haunting what used to be
You mimic my laughter, the smile I used to adore
But the spark has extinguished, and I can't take it anymore

This charade is over, the curtain starts to fall
Non est simulare te similis mei, let love stand tall
