Your essence
Late night, window cracked, soft breeze in the air
Your memory lingers like you’re still right here
My pillow holds whispers I can’t replace
Like it somehow remembers the shape of your face
I catch a glimpse of you hanging on my walls
That same little smile… yeah, it still says it all
Pre-Chorus
Every dream feels closer than before
Like you’re knocking on my door
Chorus
My pillow blew your essence through the night
Wrapped me in your love, held me tight
Even when you’re miles away from me
You’re the air I breathe in my sleep
Drifting through these moments, I confess
I’m still wrapped up in your essence
Verse 2
Morning light hits but you’re not by my side
Still feel your warmth, nowhere to hide
It’s in the silence, it’s in the sheets
In every heartbeat, in every beat
Your laugh still echoes down the hall
I turn around… but there’s nothing at all
Pre-Chorus
I reach out but you fade like smoke
Still your presence never broke
Chorus
My pillow blew your essence through the night
Wrapped me in your love, held me tight
Even when you’re miles away from me
You’re the air I breathe in my sleep
Drifting through these moments, I confess
I’m still wrapped up in your essence
Bridge
Maybe it’s love, maybe it’s memory
Maybe it’s you still holding onto me
Through every tear and every breath
I feel you in the space you left
Soft Breakdown (whispered / optional)
I still say your name when no one’s around…
Like somehow you can hear me now
Outro
So I’ll lay my head and close my eyes
Meet you again where the dream world lies
My pillow keeps what I can’t express…
A piece of you—your esse
