You’re gone

The night is breathing slow and deep,
The city’s wide awake but still asleep,
Your shadow dances on the wall,
Like it knows something I can’t recall.
Every word you never say
Feels louder than the ones that stay,
You look at me like you already know
How far my heart is ready to go.
I miss you even when you’re here,
Even when your voice is near,
Every second pulls me through,
I’m close to you, but missing you.
I miss you in your quiet smile,
In every pause that lasts a while,
You’re right beside me, crystal clear,
But somehow… I still miss you here.
The world keeps spinning, fast and blind,
But time slows down when you’re in my mind,
Your laugh cuts through the noise inside,
A spark I never try to hide.
I’ve learned that love is not the pain,
Not every loss and not every chain,
It’s wanting more when you have it all,
It’s hearing hope inside a fall.
Maybe love is not the fear of goodbye,
But feeling something you can’t deny,
Not the distance, not the wait,
Just knowing this is real… this fate.
I miss you not because you’re gone,
But because my heart keeps moving on,
Deeper into what we are,
Past every line, past every scar.
You’re here with me, and that is true,
But loving you means missing you,
Right here, right now, I hold you near,
And still… I miss you when you’re here.
