Never Really Gone

[Verse 1 – soft, intimate]
When I close my eyes, I feel your touch
I feel your breath, your heartbeat close to my chest
I feel everything of you

And I don’t see myself
I see a light in front of me
The breeze, the illusion of cold air
Blowing warm, scented kisses
I recognize from your lips

[Pre-Chorus – rising ache]
Then I open them—my big brown eyes
And you are only there
When I close them

[Chorus – emotional, melodic]
Never really here
Never really gone
I keep finding you
In places you don’t belong

My eyes learned your shape
In every shade I see
You live in the dark
That still remembers me

[Verse 2 – searching, grounded]
I still look for you
In between shadows and shades
Where we used to sit together
Wildflowers and bees hovering
Bothered by our laughter

I still look for you
As I hold my chest so tight
My heart beats—unstoppable, aching
I lose my breath
Chasing even a trace
Of your scent passing by

[Pre-Chorus 2 – deeper]
I hold on to them
My eyes learned to search everywhere

[Chorus – fuller]
Never really here
Never really gone
I keep calling you
In echoes I hold on

My body remembers
What my hands can’t reach
You’re a ghost in my senses
A silence that speaks

[Bridge – quiet truth]
Why did it end
When we never began with a name?
I was yours, you were mine
But nothing stayed the same

Only within
Those broken glasses we wore
We looked like forever
But we were never more

[Final Chorus – soft fade]
Never really here
Never really gone
So I close my eyes
Just to hold you on
