Absence Still Loves Me

(Verse 1)

Early mornings felt warmer with you,

Coffee cups and quiet truths.

Your laugh in the sunrise,

Hands on my waist, slow like time.

You touched my soul before my skin,

Didn’t know what forever was back then.

(Pre-Chorus)

And I still feel your breath on my neck,

Still hear your voice when the world gets quiet.

How can distance feel so loud?

How can memories still pull me down?

(Chorus)

I been lovin’ the absence of you,

’Cause it’s the only piece of you I still get to hold onto.

Thought I let you go but you stay in my head,

Years keep movin’ but my heart stays where you left it instead.

Your green eyes still haunt me when I close mine…

Missin’ what we were, and what we never got to try.

(Verse 2)

Breakfast in bed, you brushing my hair,

Skin on skin, that slow R&B stare.

Beautiful, intimate, nothin’ forced, all flow,

Only thing I ever felt that felt like home.

So many words I never said,

Regrets sleep between my sheets instead.

(Bridge)

If love had a rewind…

I’d meet you again for the first time.

Touch your face, let my pride die,

Tell you the things I hid inside.

But silence built walls we couldn’t climb.

(Final Chorus)

I been lovin’ the absence of you,

’Cause it’s the last place you still feel true.

Years gone by but I still feel you near,

Soft as a whisper that never disappears.

Your green eyes, God, they still shine…

Missin’ the life that could’ve been mine.
