Our Ghosts - Niko Jarell
The hallway keeps your quiet trace
Like fading light across a face
Your laughter lingers in the air
But when I turn, you're never there
The night still knows the words we said
They echo softly in my head
I love that once felt bright and true
Now walks beside me like a ghost of you
No storm remained, no fire burned
Just silent pages slowly turned
These ghosts of us still drift around
In every quiet sound, no shattered hearts, no loud goodbye
Just fading steps that pass me by
I feel the warmth we used to keep
Like echoes buried deep
Ghosts of us in silent trust
Still walking next to us
The city lights blur through the rain
Like memories I can't explain
Your shadow moves in distant glow
Through streets we used to know
I try to leave the past behind
But pieces stay inside my mind
Some love doesn't fade away
It softly chooses where to stay
No sudden end, no bitter fight
Just drifting through the night
These ghosts of us still drift around
In every quiet sound, no shattered hearts, no loud goodbye
Just fading steps that pass me by
I feel the warmth we used to keep
Like echoes buried deep
Ghosts of us in silent trust
Still walking next to us
Maybe love becomes the air
A quiet presence everywhere
Not gone, not fully left behind
Just resting in the mind
These ghosts of us still remain
Like distant whispers in the rain
But every step I take ahead
Feels lighter than I said
Though memories move close to me
Like waves upon the sea
Ghosts of us may soften still
But I can find my way
Fading still
Soft echoes come yet near
