Now You're Gone

Your coffee mug is sitting on the stand
I close my eyes and reach to hold your hand
The sweater that you left upon the chair
Still carries traces of your golden hair
I walk around the places where we grew
And everywhere
I look reminds of you
The silence here is getting way too loud
I look for you in every passing crowd
I never knew my heart could bleed this deep
You're in every single dream
I keep
Now you're gone
And all the light turns pale
Every word we spoke is just a fading tail
Standing right where we said goodbye
Watching gray clouds roll across the sky
Now you're gone but
I am staying here wishing
I could pull you close and near
I read the notes you wrote me long ago
Words of love that used to make me glow
The street lights flicker in the evening rain
Every step
I take feels like a sting
I try to breathe
I try to find my way
But all
I do is wait for another day
