the art of missing someone

I caught myself unlocking my phone Just to send a little piece of home Morning coffee, painted skies in blue Funny how my first thought still finds you Found a meme you'd laugh about for sure Closed the app and kept it to myself Some reflexes take a little time Some habits don't just disappear Songs we loved still sneak into my day I don't always rush to skip away Every memory's softer than before Like waves that don't reach shore One day I'll stop looking at my screen Like you're somewhere in between No more wishing every holiday Carries your name my way Little by little, I let it go Like autumn teaching leaves to fall slow Some memories shine without asking to be held And I finally know myself There's a movie that you would've loved I still smiled at every favorite part Almost said your name out loud today Then the moment drifted far away You're no longer in my every plan But your fingerprints still know my hands It's a strange kind of growing up Learning when enough is enough Hope gets tired, I understand So I let it rest without my hands Now tomorrow's calling out my name Nothing has to stay the same Hope can only run so endlessly Now it dances differently in me You're a chapter I can finally read Without needing you to breathe Oh-oh, memories don't disappear They just change the way they sound Oh-oh, I can miss you and still find Both my feet back on the ground Oh-oh, every version of us Found its place inside my soul Some people leave but every love leaves light behind
