I still feel the way you looked at me
That small smile you tried to hide
The screen lit your face just enough
For me to see the truth in your eyes
You talked like the world made sense
And I wanted the moment to stay
Your voice stayed in my room
Long after the call slipped away
I wish you were here tonight
Right here where the quiet feels wide
My hands reach for the space beside me
And I breathe in slow just to calm the ache
You feel closer than distance
But still too far to take
I remember how you laughed
Like you knew the shape of my mind
You said I think like a storm
And I liked the way you said it
Every word you gave me stayed
Settled deep like warm tide water
I walk around with the sound of you
Hear it rise and fall inside me
I wish you were here tonight
Right here where the quiet feels wide
My hands reach for the space beside me
And I breathe you slow just to calm the ache
You feel closer than distance
But still too far to take
Sometimes I talk out loud to no one
Just to stare into the thought of you
There is a gentle truth in that
Something I never planned to feel
I wish you were here tonight
Where my heart finally feels steady
I keep a place open for you
In the calm behind the day
You feel closer than distance
And I want you more each day
