The room is quiet but I hear your voice
Whispering like I had a choice
Your laughter lingers in the air
Even though you're no longer there
I touch the space where it used to be
But it's only shadows staring back at me
I tell myself I'm letting go
But my heart moves too slow
Every memory,
every smile Feels like you're still around for a while
I'm trapped in fading echoes Of the love we couldn't hold
I reach for you in
empty
rooms But find only the cold
I'm trapped in fading echoes
Still whispering your name
Even if you moved away I'm not sure
I'd do
the same
I walk past places we called ours Every streetlight hiding stars
The words you left are carved in me
Silent reminders of what couldn't be
I try to love,
I try to breathe But your shadow's all I see
I pretend the past is just a dream But nothing's ever what it seems
I keep your ghost inside my chest Learning slowly how to rest
