You came and went like fading rain

A touch that never left a stain

No promises, no last goodbye

But still I see you when I cry

A dream I never really knew

But somehow, I still ache for you

You brushed against my quiet soul

Then left me less than whole

Never there, never gone

Still I wait like you belong

All the words we never said

Keep on ringing in my head

Never mine, but still a part

I hold the shape you left in my heart

Even now, I play along

Never there, never gone

I walk through places we won’t be

But every road remembers me

A shadow only I can trace

That used to wear your face

A song without a single sound

Still plays when no one is around

You live in silence on repeat

A memory incomplete

Never there, never gone

Still I wait like you belong

Every echo that I chase

Still wears your name, still holds your place

Never mine, but still a part

I hold the shape you left in my heart

Even now, I play along

Never there, never gone

You never said you'd stay for good

But I believed the way you could

A promise made in passing glance

Still keeps me frozen in that dance

Never mine, but still a part

I hold the shape you left in my heart

Even now, I play along

Never there… never gone…
