Verse 1:
In a dim-lit room where the shadows play,
He caught her eyes, lost in a troubled way.
Whispers of pain, tales untold,
A woman so beautiful, yet feeling so cold.
Verse 2:
They shared their stories, soft and sincere,
In the depths of their hurt, he drew ever near.
No grand gestures, just moments so real,
In the silence of comfort, they began to heal.
Chorus:
Oh cherish the moments, hold them tight,
Love isn't guaranteed, it can fade from sight,
Life’s unpredictable, a fleeting chance,
Dance with your heart, give love its chance.
Verse 3:
Days turned to months, their bond grew strong,
Conversations like music, a sweet, tender song.
Yet he kept his distance, afraid to impose,
In the garden of friendship, true love slowly grows.
Verse 4:
Late nights they laughed, tears shared in the dawn,
But deep in her heart, the battle raged on.
He wanted to say what his heart kept in chains,
But he feared her past, the echoes of pain.
Chorus:
Oh cherish the moments, hold them tight,
Love isn't guaranteed, it can fade from sight,
Life’s unpredictable, a fleeting chance,
Dance with your heart, give love its chance.
Verse 5:
One fateful night, courage found its way,
He spoke of his feelings, in the soft light of grey.
With trembling lips, she broke down with a sigh,
Her heart a fortress, her silence a lie.
Verse 6:
Through tears she confessed of a tormenting past,
A childhood of shadows, innocence cast.
His heart shattered gently, aching with sorrow,
A darkness he never foresaw for tomorrow.
Chorus:
Oh cherish the moments, hold them tight,
Love isn't guaranteed, it can fade from sight,
Life’s unpredictable, a fleeting chance,
Dance with your heart, give love its chance.
Bridge:
But he didn’t know, as the days turned to weeks,
Her pain was a secret, her heart could not speak.
An online post shattered the world he once knew,
She took her own life, his love never broke through.
Verse 7:
Now he sits alone, with memories that burn,
In the silence of loss, there’s so much to learn.
He carries her name, like a whisper on air,
A lesson in love, a heart laid bare.
Final Chorus:
Oh cherish the moments, hold them tight,
Love isn't guaranteed, it can fade from sight,
Before it’s too late, call out to the stars,
In a world so fragile, let love heal the scars.

“I want you to write a song that tells a deep, emotional story about a man who falls in love with a woman who seems out of his reach at first. Over time, they form a meaningful connection through conversations and shared experiences. He never makes any romantic moves at first, but his love for her grows. Eventually, he confesses his feelings, but she breaks down crying. Later, he learns through a online post that she rejected him because she was raped as a child and now she killed herself. The song should have multiple detailed verses that paint a vivid picture of their relationship, from the beginning of their friendship to the tragic revelation. (they met in group therapy) The chorus should focus on cherishing love while you still have it, because life is unpredictable, and you never know when it might be too late.”
