I Hear You Still

I still catch myself turning like you’re there

Like you never really left that chair

Your voice still lingers in the air somehow

Like it’s still reaching for me now

You had a way of steadying the room

Like nothing heavy could break through

Never loud, but you cut right through

Like truth didn’t have to prove

There’s a quiet I don’t recognize

But I see you in the in-between lines

In every word I didn’t say

In every moment I let slip away

You changed me in ways I didn’t know I needed

Left something in me I still believe in

Even now, when the room stands still

I hear you… I hear you still

There was a moment I almost pulled away

Something I wish I could’ve changed

Thought we had time, didn’t have to chase

Now I replay it every day

You saw through parts I kept concealed

Like you knew what I wouldn’t reveal

Now every space you used to fill

Echoes louder than it ever did

You changed me in ways I didn’t know I needed

Left something in me I still believe in

Even now, when the room stands still

I hear you… I hear you still

If I close my eyes, you’re right here again

Not gone… just somewhere I can’t step in

And I’d give anything just to say

All the words I held that day

You made things make sense without saying much

You changed me in ways I didn’t know I needed

Now every part of me can feel it

Even now, when the world goes still

I hear you… I hear you still
