《Still Between Us》
The room is quiet after midnight
Your cup is still beside the bed
I tell myself I’m doing just fine
But your name lives in my head
The city hums like nothing’s broken
People love and let things go
But I’m stuck on what was spoken
In a voice I still know
I don’t check your window anymore
I don’t dial and hang up twice
But every silence feels like
Paying for a better time
If you ever feel the distance
Like a hand you almost touch
That’s me thinking of you again
Still missing you too much
We said goodbye like grown-ups do
No tears, no scene, no fuss
But love didn’t leave with you
It’s still between us
I’ve learned how to smile politely
At jokes I don’t believe
I’ve learned how to sleep beside someone
And still feel incomplete
Your jacket’s gone, your scent is faded
But somehow I remain
In love with every version
Of you inside my brain
I don’t hope you’ll come back home
I don’t curse your new life too
I just wish forgetting you
Was something I could do
If you ever feel the distance
Like a song you almost hum
That’s me calling out your name
When the night finally comes
We were brave, we let it end
Said “time will adjust us”
But hearts don’t listen to reason
It’s still between us
Maybe love is just a season
Maybe I stayed past the snow
But every road I’ve ever walked
Still knows the way to you
If you ever feel a moment
When your chest feels slightly warm
That’s me loving you in silence
Trying not to cause a storm
We don’t talk, we don’t pretend
We don’t need to discuss
Some things don’t need a future
They’re still between us
I don’t need you back tonight
I just need you to exist
Somewhere under the same sky
Still between us
