Between Two Silences Eshe Lí, The Soul Jazz Era

Your side of the bed is colder now
I still leave space like you'll return somehow
The night is long but it feels longer still
When every empty room remembers what it used to feel

I talk to you in passing thoughts
Like you might hear them where you are
And every clock in this apartment
Sounds just like a breaking heart

We're counting the same seconds
Just in different skies

I miss you in the quiet
Between every word I say
In the places no one notices
Where you never really went away

I miss you like a habit
That I cannot break or lose
Two hearts in different cities
Still beating the same truth

You said it won't be long now
But time forgot to agree
Every day stretches into something
That doesn't feel like we

I save your voice inside my memory
Like a song that won't grow old
Press play when the world gets heavier
And I feel less alone

We're living in the same moment
But never at the same place

I miss you in the quiet
Between every word I say
In the places no one notices
Where you never really went away

I miss you like a habit
That I cannot break or lose
Two hearts in different cities
Still beating the same truth

If distance is just space and time
Why does it feel like missing parts of mine
Like something whole was split in two
And one half always calls for you

I miss you in the silence
Where no one else can see
Like your name is written softly
In everything I breathe

And even if we're far away
And even if we lose the view
I still exist in your world
And you exist in mine too
