Your essence

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
