Traces of You V2

Traces of You

I passed the park where we once sat,
You in your hoodie, me in my hat.
The world stood still, the sky was blue,
Now all that’s left are traces of you.

I keep your notes in a weathered box,
Tied with string and old wristwatch.
Your words still speak when days feel long,
Like distant echoes of our song.

You're in the wind that calls my name,
In the quiet after rain.
You're the light that breaks the gloom,
The shadow dancing in my room.
Though time moves on like morning dew,
I still live in the traces of you.

Your laugh still haunts the hallway air,
As if you're standing, smiling there.
And when I cry, I swear I hear
Your whisper saying, “I’m still near.”

Some say memories fade and fall,
But yours still paint my every wall.
I see your soul in every place,
In songs, in stars, in empty space.

You're in the wind that calls my name,
In the silence wrapped in flame.
You're the light that breaks the gloom,
The voice that fills an empty room.
Though you’re not here, I know it’s true—
I will always find traces of you.

And as the days keep slipping through,
I carry love… in traces of you.
