I heard it in the quiet air,
A sudden laugh, a whispered prayer.
It came from halls where feet once ran,
Where love was built, where time began.

It wrapped around the walls so bare,
A fleeting sound, a ghostly flare.
And though the years have stretched so wide,
Laughter lingers, side by side.

For even when the voices fade,
The love we shared is never swayed.
It hums beneath the passing years,
A song still sung in silent tears.
