I long for you

Описание: Calendar full of circles
Red ink all over the page
Every square is a little confession
Of how long I've lived with your name
Coffee gone cold in the kitchen
Your mug is still up on the shelf
I talk to the rooms like you're listening
Try to make space for myself

Because I long for you
I'm counting nights
I'm counting days
Since you walked out with your suitcase
And your silence in the hallway
Maybe you'll come back
Not for my arms
Not for my plea
But when the world feels strange and cruel
You'll remember
I'm your home
You're safe with me

Friends keep changing the subject
They say I'm stuck in the past
But they don't see how your jacket
Still hangs by the door
Like you'll be back
Streetlight sneaks through the curtains
Draws your outline on our bed
I lie on the side that you hated
Just to feel you in my head

Because I long for you
I'm counting nights
I'm counting days
Since you vanished from the driveway
Chasing something far away
Maybe you'll come back
Not for my arms
Not for my plea
But when the noise feels way too loud
You'll remember
I'm your home
You're safe with me

If you find some brighter ceiling
If you find some softer floor
I won't beg you to stop dreaming
But I’ll leave a light beside the door
If your name feels wrong out there
If your heart gets tired and torn
You can walk in like it's nothing
I'll just say
"I've been here all along."

Because I long for you
I'm counting nights
I'm counting days
Every sunrise
Every sunset
Write your shadow on my face
Maybe you'll come back
Not for my arms
Not for my plea
But when the whole world turns its back
You'll remember
I'm your home
I'm your home
You're safe with me
