I still think of you when the weight feels heavy on my chest

When I lie awake in bed just trying to catch my breath

I replay every word you said like a record in my head

And it makes the pain a little less

You probably didn’t know

That you fixed something in my soul

And just a conversation

Made my heart feel a little more whole

I hung onto every word

All the pain you spoke, I heard

But I was hurting too

And I didn’t want to burden you

Then one day you were gone

Like a flower wilted in the storm

No warning in the weather

Just the quiet after warm

The nights turned white and heavy

Every thought buried in snow

I told myself it was nothing

Just someone helping me hold on

But somewhere in that winter

When the silence pulled you away

I think I was falling for you

I just never found the words to say

I kept my coat buttoned tight

Didn’t let the feeling show

Didn’t want to add my weight

To the blizzard you already wore

I learned how fast a quiet

Can freeze what you don’t confess

How love can hide in kindness

And still leave a hollow in your chest

The nights turned white and heavy

Every thought buried in snow

I told myself it was nothing

Just someone helping me hold on

But somewhere in that winter

When the silence pulled you away

I think I was falling for you

And I never found the words to say

So if you ever feel the cold ease up

Like someone said your name

That’s just me learning how to let you go

Without erasing what you gave.
