Still Here (I Miss You)

Another night, and you're not around

Just your messages, your voice without sound

I light a candle, watch the shadows fall

But it's not the same as holding you at all

I raise my glass to the stars tonight

Hoping you feel this ache I try to hide

I miss you like thunder waits on rain

Like a rebel heart chained down by pain

You're the fire in my veins that never fades

The song that plays, even when it breaks

We’re under one sky, but you're not near

I’m still here… and I miss you, my dear

I see your smile through a glowing screen

But no touch can cross this distance in between

I walk alone where we once dreamed aloud

Now every silence feels a little too loud

I'd cross the miles, I'd break the lines

Just to feel your breath close to mine

I miss you like the wind longs to scream

Like a faded scar that still holds the dream

You're the flame in the dark I can’t replace

The rhythm I chase in empty space

Though we’re apart, I hold you near

I’m still here… and I miss you, my dear

One day soon, no more goodbyes

No more staring at the endless sky

Just your hand in mine, the world behind

And love that’s finally realigned

I miss you like lightning misses the storm

Like a soldier praying to be reborn

You're the fight in my soul, the reason I try

The one I need until the day I die

You're not gone, just far, not near

But I’m still here… and I miss you, my dear

Yeah, I’m still here…

Still burning…

Still missing you…
