I still keep your sweater near
Fold it soft like you were here
It smells like rain and songs we knew
And all the things I lost with you
The record player skips a beat
Like my heart when you would speak
You always said we'd be just fine
But silence now is every line
After goodbye the world moved slow
The light stayed dim the clocks ran low
And every street I used to roam
Now feels too quiet far from home
I still replay that final night
The way you looked the porch light bright
If I had known it was the end
I might have said come back again
Your coffee cup still marks the shelf
I dust it like I do myself
The door still creaks the floorboards sigh
Like every part still asks me why
I hum our tune in shades of blue
The one we danced to in my room
But now I sway with just the air
Pretending you're still standing there
They say the time will close the door
But I just wait and love you more
No calendar could make me stray
From all the words we didn't say
After goodbye I still believe
In second wind and hearts that grieve
So if someday you miss this light
Just turn around I leave it bright
Ha.
