I open the window but breathe you in
The air still tastes like where you’ve been
Your touch lives in my cotton sheets
Faint as a ghost, but just as deep
I moved the pictures off the wall
Still hear your footsteps in the hall
I tell myself I’m over you
But every echo says it’s not true
It’s still warm where you were
Still burns in the blur
You’re a fever I chose to keep
A wound I rock to sleep
Your name’s a silent prayer
On nights you’re not there
And even though you said goodbye
My skin hasn’t learned to lie
It’s still warm where you were
You left your scent on my favorite song
Now I can’t listen without you gone
I hold the notes like fragile glass
Each line a thread that pulls me back
They say that time rewrites the past
But mine still curls where we collapsed
Your absence wears your shape too well
I trace it every time I fell
It’s still warm where you were
In dreams that still occur
You’re the quiet hum beneath
Every breath I fail to breathe
Like sunlight after rain
You return inside the pain
And though the room is bare tonight
I still glow in your old light
It’s still warm where you were
Some ghosts don’t haunt with fear
They just whisper when you're near
And maybe I don’t need you back
But I still live in what we lacked
It’s still warm where you were
Like an echo I prefer
You linger in my blood, in thought
In every fight my heart has fought
So even if you never care
Even if you’re never there
I’ll always be aware…
It’s still warm
Where you were
