Still See You Smile

Yeah…

Mm…

It’s quiet again…

Your coffee cup’s still by the sink,

Like you’re just gone longer than I think.

Sunlight hits the way it did

When you’d smile before you’d speak.

I swear I hear your footsteps slow,

Down the hall I still don’t close.

Every corner knows your name,

Even time don’t feel the same.

I don’t reach out, I don’t call,

I just stare at these walls.

‘Cause loving you still feels too real,

Even when you’re not here.

I still see you smile in the dark,

Like you never really fell apart.

I still feel you when I breathe,

Your presence laying next to me.

If missing you’s a way to stay,

Then I’m holding on this way.

I still see you smile, my love,

Even when it hurts this much.

Your jacket hangs behind the door,

I never moved it like before.

It smells like nights we couldn’t sleep,

Promises we didn’t keep.

I replay moments I should’ve saved,

Every laugh I pushed away.

If I knew that was goodbye,

I would’ve stayed a little longer in your eyes.

I don’t ask for you to return,

I just sit with what I learned.

That love don’t fade when people go,

It just gets quiet, moves in slow.

I still see you smile in the dark,

Like you never really fell apart.

I still feel you when I breathe,

Your presence laying next to me.

If missing you’s a way to stay,

Then I’m holding on this way.

I still see you smile, my love,

Even when it hurts this much.

If you ever think of me,

I hope it doesn’t hurt.

I hope you laugh the way you did,

Like you always came first.

I’m learning how to let you live,

While you live inside my chest.

I still see you smile sometimes,

In passing cars, in city lights.

I don’t chase you, I just stay

With the love that never went away.

If goodbye’s just learning how,

To love you without you now…

I still see you smile, my love,

And I hold it like it’s enough.

Mm…

Still see you…

Yeah…
