Your side of the bed stays cold Still leave a light on in the hall Phone in my pocket starts to buzz For half a second I think it's us I tell myself I'm doing fine Most days I even believe the lie Then something small rewinds the tape And puts me back in yesterday I don't choose it It chooses me It's muscle memory My heart still beats your rhythm My hands still know your name Before my head can stop them It's muscle memory Every room remembers you I've taught myself to let you go My body's learning slower Than I do Different faces, different bars Different cities, different cars Funny how a smell or song Can make a second last this long One day these old reflexes fade One day they'll finally mend Until then every little thing Reminds my body what it can't forget It's muscle memory Less every day but not tonight I'm getting better at goodbye My body's just a little Behind It's muscle memory ================================= © 2026 Satin Stardust.
