Every Note I Missed
¸èÊÖ£º³ÂÞÄ

I had a verse I meant to send
But never found the rhyme
You left before I played it
Ran out of breath and time
Your name was in my notebook
Beside a melody
But the notes all turned to silence
The day you left me be
You used to hum in kitchens
A song I can't recall
Now echoes fill the spaces
Where you once sang at all
I thought I'd write you something
To say the things I missed
But every time I try to
I choke on what still is
These are all the notes I missed
In measures left unplayed
The chords that never sounded
The love I never said
And though the song is over
There's something that persists
In every quiet moment
Every note I missed
I still hear you¡
In the spaces between
My thoughts
In the ring of a teacup
In the chair you used to rock
And I wonder¡
Would the song have helped you stay?
These are all the notes I missed
The ones I held too tight
The tune I thought could wait
Now lost in endless night
But if you're still out there somewhere
Let this reach through the mist-
