The One I Miss - Niko Jarell
Shadows fall where you once stayed
Whispers linger never fade
Warm piano hums your name
Every note recalls the same
Light percussion soft and kind
Bass that traces all I find
Airy synths wrap empty space
Haunting echoes of your face
I reach for you in quiet dreams
But nothing's ever as it seems
The man I miss
Lives in the corners of my chest
Every laugh, every gentle sigh
Every hello that said goodbye
Keys and pads hold your embrace
Melodies trace your fading face
The man I miss
Haunts my nights in silent bliss
Gentle chords like falling rain
Softly soothing all my pain
Every pause holds what I lost
Every melody counts the cost
Bass hums low beneath my skin
Every synth breathes where you've been
The music knows the space inside
Where I keep you though you've died
I close my eyes you're still around
A quiet voice without a sound
The man I miss
Lives in the corners of my chest
Every laugh, every gentle sigh
Every hello that said goodbye
Keys and pads hold your embrace
Melodies trace your fading face
The man I miss
Haunts my nights in silent bliss
If I could hold the air you left
I'd treasure every quiet breath
Not in noise, not in despair
Just the stillness that we share
The man I miss
Fills the silence with gentle twists
Piano hums what words can't say
Synths and pads guide me away
I drift where your memory lies
Bass and chords a soft reprise
The man I miss lives forever in these eyes
Night dissolves but I remain
Holding softly what won't change
