I don’t wake up reaching for you now
I don’t check my phone at night
But sometimes your name
Moves through my mind
Like a familiar light
I’ve learned how to be okay alone
How to fill my days
Still, some feelings don’t disappear
They just change their shape
It’s not the kind of missing
That keeps me awake
It’s the quiet kind
That knows how to wait
I miss you softly
Like a song in the next room
Not loud enough to hurt
But I still feel you
No tears, no calling back
No wishing it was new
I miss you softly
And I’m okay with you
I pass the places we once knew
And smile instead of stop
The world kept moving gently on
And so did I
I don’t wonder what you’re doing now
Or who you’ve become
I just hope the night
Treats you kind
Wherever you are
Some loves don’t fade
They just learn
How to stay light
I miss you softly
Like a song in the next room
Not loud enough to hurt
But I still feel you
No tears, no calling back
No wishing it was new
I miss you softly
And I’m okay with you
Maybe this is how it ends
Not with goodbye
But with a gentle feeling
That passes by
I miss you softly
As the night goes blue
I carry what we were
Without losing you
No regret, no weight
No ache pulling through
I miss you softly
And I let it be true
