I Tear Up When You’re Away

The rain hits soft on my windowpane,

Each drop whispers your name in vain.

Your shadow lingers where you used to lay,

I tear up when you’re away.

The coffee’s cold, your chair still there,

Your sweater’s scent still haunts the air.

The clock keeps time, but my heart won’t stay,

It breaks a little more each day.

I tear up when you’re away,

Like the moon when it loses day.

Every silence speaks your pain,

Every echo calls your name.

My tears fall slow, like they know their way,

I tear up… when you’re away.

I light a candle, it flickers low,

Like my hope that you’ll ever know—

How empty the nights, how blue the skies,

When you’re not here to meet my eyes.

I write your name in the misted glass,

Praying time will turn and let it pass.

But the ache just stays, it never fades,

Love’s a ghost that never trades.

I tear up when you’re away,

Like the wind that forgot to play.

Every dream turns into grey,

Every prayer just fades away.

Your voice still hums where the shadows sway,

I tear up… when you’re away.

Maybe the stars are crying too,

They’ve lost their shine since I lost you.

If missing you’s the price I pay,

Then I’ll drown in tears each passing day.

I tear up when you’re away,

Every heartbeat starts to fray.

Love’s a song that won’t decay,

Even time can’t take it away.

If you come back, I’ll find my way—

Till then, I’ll tear up… when you’re away.

The night holds me in its quiet sway,

And I whisper low — you’re my always.

Till you return, I’ll softly pray,

I tear up…

When you’re away.
