There was a time wasn’t there
When your laugh filled the quiet
When even silence felt soft because it belonged to us
Now all I hear is that space where you used to be

I walk past places we knew
The ghost of your voice clinging to the air
Every streetlight flicker feels like a reminder
Every sunset feels like it watched us fall apart

I thought I saw you yesterday
Or maybe I only wanted to
The world blurs
Because I’m still looking for your outline in the crowd

Is this what you wanted
To leave me tangled in what ifs
In a song that keeps playing
Even when you stopped listening

I’ve tried to forget
But forgetting you is like trying to unhear the waves
Or untaste the rain

It’s always been about you
And maybe it always will
