It's the first birthday I spend without you
I'm quiet
I'm waiting
Listening for even the smallest sound
Your singing voice rings in my ear
Somber and slow
I'm listening for you
I'm singing along
But you're not there
Just a voice in the back of my mind
Muffled and hoarse
I'm listening for you
I'm singing along
The notes ring in my ears
Soft and melodic
I'm listening for you
But you're long gone
I'm looking for a sign
One that you're still here
Watching
Listening
Singing
I'm longing for a sound
A melancholic note
One that matches your tone
So I don't feel too alone
I'm searching
High and low
To and fro
My eyes dart into the cold night
But you're not there
I'm waiting
For the moment we're together again
Until I can smile and hug you
Until we can sit and sing
But that's a dream
One that can't come true
It's so real
Yet so fake
This lucid dream
It makes my heart break
I'm yearning
Listening
Waiting
For a response
Are you still there?
(I'm watching you)
Will I be alright?
(Don't fret, all will be well)
Are you listening?
(Your voice is beautiful)
Will I be content?
(It'll get better)
I feel so alone
(You're not)
(I'm here and I love you)
