The coffee’s cold where you used to sit, Your sweater still hangs by the door. I swear I hear your footsteps upstairs, Then silence answers once more. Your side of the bed still keeps its shape, Like time refuses to move. Everyone tells me to let you go… But they don’t know how much I’d lose. ⸻ If leaving was easy, Why does your shadow stay? Why does every sunrise Still end in yesterday? ⸻ Tell me where you ran to, Why you never turned around. I’m still screaming your name Into an empty house. If love could pull you closer, I’d never let you fall. You took every piece of me… When you left it all. ⸻ Your number’s still my favourite call, Though nobody picks up now. I write another message That disappears somehow. Our pictures line these broken walls, Like ghosts that learned to smile. I’ve spent a thousand lonely nights Pretending it’s worthwhile. ⸻ Maybe you’ll forgive me, Maybe you’ll come home. Maybe this is punishment… For waking up alone. ⸻ Tell me where you ran to, Why you never turned around. I’m still screaming your name Into an empty house. If love could pull you closer, I’d never let you fall. You took every piece of me… When you left it all. ⸻ I still save your place beside me. Still hear your laugh in the rain. People say the heart keeps healing… Why does mine stay the same? ⸻ The flowers on your stone were fading, So I brought fresh ones today. I traced your name beneath the years And watched the sky turn grey. You never chose to leave me. You never slammed that door. It wasn’t you that walked away… Heaven just needed you more. ⸻ Now I know where you are, love, Though you’re farther than the stars. Every heartbeat keeps your memory Hidden inside these scars. One day when my story’s over, When this lonely world lets go… I’ll hear your voice call out again… And finally come home. ⸻ Until that day… I’ll keep talking to the silence. Because somewhere beyond the sky… You’re still listening.
