You Still Live Here

You Still Live Here

Your jacket's still behind the door,
Your laugh is echoing the floor.
The tea you liked, the songs we played —
They're in the air that still won't fade.

You're not gone, not really far,
You're just a silence in my car...

You still live here,
In the way the morning light appears.
In the chair you always claimed,
In every picture, every frame.
You're in the quiet, in the sound,
In dreams that softly wrap around.
Even with this space so clear...
You still live here.

The keys don't turn the way they did,
The nights are colder, coffee's mid.
But somehow you're in every scene —
Like memory stitched into the screen.

I reach for things I can't explain,
Like catching whispers in the rain...

You still live here,
In the corners of this atmosphere.
In the quiet hum at 2 AM,
In every almost, every "then."
You're in the silence, in the hum,
In every note I can't outrun.
Even if you're not so near...
You still live here.

I never meant to hold too tight...
But love won't fade with distance, right?

You still live here,
Not in body, but in something clear.
You're the pause in every sigh,
You're the reason I still try.
In this room and in my skin,
You're where endings just begin...
No matter when you disappear —
You still live here.

You still live here...
And I'm glad you do.
