I’ve seen the clocks move on their own,

Still I sit here, skin and bone.

Your voice, it lingers in the light,

Like smoke that fades but won’t take flight.

I don’t pretend that I don’t feel

The space between what’s gone and real.

But I don’t leave, I don’t erase —

My heart has never changed its place.

I don’t chase ghosts, I don’t ask why,

I just keep you by my side.

I’m still right here, through every mile,

Through every pause, through every trial.

You don’t need to speak my name —

I know your love, I feel the flame.

And if the stars forget to shine,

You’ll still be safely held in mine.

I never walked, I never strayed —

I just stayed.

I’m still right here.

I see the signs you didn’t send,

In songs that start and never end.

Your shadow dances through the room,

Like yesterday still has perfume.

I don’t rewind, I don’t regret —

The story’s ours, not finished yet.

And silence isn’t letting go —

It’s just another way to show...

That I don’t drift, and I don’t roam,

I’m always somewhere close to home.

I’m still right here, through every night,

Through every doubt, through every fight.

You don’t need to cross the line —

You’re always tethered into mine.

And if the maps begin to fade,

I’ll draw new roads to where you stay.

I never left, I never swayed —

I just stayed.

I’m still right here.

We don’t need fireworks or vows,

We just need this quiet now.

And even if you go, I’ll know —

That love is more than where we go.

I’m still right here, through all the grey,

Through words we never got to say.

This isn’t longing, isn’t pain —

It’s standing still inside the rain.

You are the storm I never feared —

Because I stayed.

I’m still right here.

Love is not a moment...

Love is staying.
