Still ours

You packed your bags, I watched you go

With dreams and pain you didn’t show

The silence grew, the nights felt long

But I kept holding on

You said you needed air to breathe

To find the part you couldn’t see

And I stood back, I let you fly

While I stayed here, just asking why

But love don’t fade when you disappear

It whispers soft, “I’m still right here”

No matter how far you roam

You’re still my heart, you’re still my home

I won’t chase you down the road

But I’ll leave the porch light on

For when you’re ready to come back

To where you’ve always belonged

I see you trying, getting strong

And even though it’s taking long

You’re learning how to heal your past

I just pray this peace will last

They don’t see the man I know

The heart that’s hurt but still can grow

I won’t pretend it doesn’t ache

But I believe in every step you take

'Cause love don’t fade when you disappear

It whispers soft, “I’m still right here”

No matter how far you roam

You’re still my heart, you’re still my home

I won’t chase you down the road

But I’ll leave the porch light on

For when you’re ready to come back

To where you’ve always belonged

And maybe one day you’ll look back

See the strength in everything we lacked

But somehow we still held on

Even when the light felt gone

So take your time and find your way

I’ll love you through the in-between

And when you’re ready, I’ll be there

Just like I’ve always been
