Echoes of the Heart's Confessions

The morning coffee won’t taste quite the same,  
There’ll be an empty chair beside my name.  
No shared little jokes when the day gets long,  
No friend there to help me carry on.  
We’ve faced every deadline, laughed through every call,  
Made the hardest days feel easy after all.  
And though I’ll miss the way we work as one,  
I know your great adventure’s just begun.
