Coffee cools down on the wooden sill
Your old sweater hangs by the window still
I walk the block we used to roam after nine
The air still smells like your favorite jasmine wine
I don’t call I don’t write
I don’t beg for your time
But something here won’t let the old maps die
I still love you soft and low
Not the burning kind that makes the cold wind blow
Just a quiet light where the weeds don’t grow
I still love you soft and slow
I saw your car parked outside the old bakery
You had a laugh I’d know any place any key
You looked the same just a little less tired
I turned away before your eyes could caught mine wired
I don’t cry I don’t dream of a second try
But something here won’t let the old embers die
I still love you soft and low
Not the hungry kind that begs you to come home
Just a warm place where my old ghosts can roam
I still love you let it go let it grow
They say time is a river that washes things clean
That the heart forgets what it don’t want to see
But I don’t mind this gentle weight on my chest
It’s not a wound it’s just the best I get
Some love don’t need a happy end to be blessed
I still love you soft and low
It’s not a chain that keeps me locked below
It’s just a seed that in the quiet grows
I still love you soft and slow
All I need is just to know you know
Coffee cools down on the wooden sill
Your old sweater hangs by the window still
