You were younger, but you made me feel seen
Like time bent around us, like love in between
Late nights laughing till the sky turned gray
Felt like forever could start that day
We weren’t perfect, but damn, we were close
Every I love you, I swear, I meant most
Learning each other like verses in rhyme
Two souls syncing, outside of time
I held you close like I held my breath
Scared that too much love would lead to death
Of what we had — and yeah, I was wrong
Did some dumb shit, now you’re gone
Might’ve been betrayal — I won’t pretend
I fucked up something I swore to defend
Didn’t see it then, now I bleed with the cost
Every second without you feels like a loss
We were more than a fling, more than a phase
You were the calm in my chaotic haze
Age ain’t nothing when souls align
And I swear yours fit perfect with mine
You knew me deep — past the mask, past pride
The me no one sees, you kept by your side
Now your silence hits like a scream in my chest
And I’d give it all just to clean up this mess
I miss you like lungs miss air
Like prayers miss gods that were never there
I talk to your ghost when I’m driving alone
Still hope one day you’ll pick up the phone
Even if we ain’t meant for “always and ever”
Don’t mean we couldn’t have lasted forever
Forever in our way — long, real, true
Forever in the way I still ache for you
You meant the world, you still fucking do
Even now when I know I lost you too
Not a night goes by where I don’t rewind
To your laugh, your love, your brilliant mind
To the way you’d curl up and fall asleep
To the way you held me when I fell too deep
You were my everything, still are in ways
I carry you quiet through all of my days
So if you’re out there, if you hear this line
Just know I still love you, still call you mine
Even if I’m not yours, even if you moved on
Even if I fade when the morning’s gone
I was stupid, reckless, blind to the gold
Took the rarest thing I had and let it grow cold
But I’d wait, I’d crawl, I’d change it all
Just to be the one you still choose to call
And maybe love like ours don’t get clean
But maybe broken still means something seen
And maybe you don’t forgive — that’s fair
But if you ever need someone, I’ll be there
You were more than a chapter, more than a start
You carved your name into the walls of my heart
And even in silence, when the world moves on
I’ll still be yours… even after you’re gone.
