If you’re not here | Echoes of Code

Today the house feels kind of different, like the silence speaks your name, and the hours move so slowly it just hurts to feel this way. I keep words I never told you, they escape when you’re not near, and your name is in the air now like something that disappeared. And I try to convince myself that everything’s okay… but there’s an empty space inside that won’t just fade away. If you’re not here, my whole world splits in two, I can’t find the direction or the meaning I once knew. If you’re not here, everything feels out of place, even sunlight fades away now like it’s lost without your face. Your memory lives in details, in the coffee, in the chair, in the little things around me that still feel you everywhere. And I say that I’m still strong, but the truth is hard to hide, ’cause in every single goodbye I keep breaking deep inside. And though time keeps telling me I’ll be healed somehow, someday… there are wounds that don’t know how to let love just slip away. If you’re not here, my whole world splits in two, I can’t find the direction or the meaning I once knew. If you’re not here, everything feels out of place, even sunlight fades away now like it’s lost without your face. Tell me how I’m supposed to lose you when I find you everywhere, even in the wind that whispers like your voice is still there. And I try to leave the past behind me, but I’m tied to what we were… every piece of me reminds me I’m still yours. If you’re not here, I don’t know who I am, just an echo in the silence of a broken, empty man. If you’re not here, there’s no way to move on, ’cause everything I ever was only lived with you alone.
