Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your mug’s still by the kettle Tea stain in the shape of your thumb Your coat hangs by the doorway Like you’ll grab it when I say “come” Your book stays on the table Folded page where you left off I dust around your picture Talk to you when nights get rough [Chorus] I still set your place at the table Pour your glass Pull out your chair I keep making room in this small house Like any moment you’ll walk down the stairs You might be gone from the world out there But you’re not gone from me Anywhere I still set your place at the table ‘Cause I can’t forget I won’t forget you [Verse 2] Your name lights up my phone screen In old messages I can’t erase I hear your key in the doorway Every creak sounds like your pace Your sweater on the armchair Keeps your shape Keeps your smell Some days I’m doing better Some days I break and I tell myself [Chorus] [Bridge] I’ll carry every Sunday morning Every joke you never finished Every almost Every always Every soft “love you” I miss [low vocal register] If memory’s all I get to hold Then I’ll hold it like the truth [crescendo] ‘Cause letting go would feel like losing One more piece of you [Chorus]

First verse stays stripped to guitar and voice; chorus swells with piano, subtle bass, and a small vocal stack on the hook. Second verse adds light strings and fingerpicked embellishments, bridge pulls everything down to almost a whisper before a final, lifted chorus., romantic
