Where we used to be

I still know the sound of your name,

Even when the room is quiet.

Every street we used to walk

Feels like somewhere I can’t find it.

I kept all the little things,

Like they could bring you back to me,

But memories don’t hold you close—

They only show me what I’ve lost.

We died and lost memories….

And I miss you where we used to be,

In every song, in every dream.

We said forever like we knew

That forever could break in two.

Now I’m learning how to breathe

With an empty space beside me.

I loved you more than I could say,

And I still do, in my own way.

There are words I never told you,

There are tears I never showed.

I wonder if you ever miss

The life we almost got to know.

Maybe somewhere down the road,

We’ll be strangers passing by,

And I’ll smile like I’m okay

While a thousand memories collide.

And I miss you where we used to be,

In every song, in every dream.

We said forever like we knew

That forever could break in two.

Now I’m learning how to breathe

With an empty space beside me.

I loved you more than I could say,

And I still do, in my own way.

Maybe love isn’t always staying,

Maybe sometimes it’s letting go.

But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t hurt

When someone feels like home.

So I’ll miss you where we used to be,

And keep the good you gave to me.

Some chapters end without goodbye,

Some stars fade from the sky.

I’ll carry what we were back then,

Not wishing for it all again.

I loved you more than I could say—

And I’ll remember you that way.

(I still think about you at night. I miss your voice, your eyes and everything….I love you.)
