The kettle hums a quiet tune
Same one it did that afternoon
The light fell soft across the floor
As you stepped gently through the door
You smiled and said you wouldnt stay
But promised love wont drift away
I folded time in silken threads
And placed your name where roses bled
The seasons passed like whispered vows
Still echoing beneath the boughs
I never asked the wind to lie
It told me you still kissed the sky
You left me waiting not in pain
But in a warmth that spoke your name
No storm could wash your eyes from mine
No dusk could make your touch decline
And if the stars have heard me cry
Theyve wept in silence side by side
But oh you left me waiting
In the softest way to say goodbye
The photographs have lost their shade
Yet every silence you once made
Still lingers like a sacred song
Reminding me where hearts belong
Not every loss must tear apart
Some stay whole inside the heart
You left me waiting not in pain
But in a warmth that spoke your name
No storm could wash your eyes from mine
No dusk could make your touch decline
And if the stars have heard me cry
Theyve wept in silence side by side
But oh you left me waiting
In the softest way to say goodbye
