Fading Letters

I'm standing in the space we used to know, Tracing all the words we never spoke. The silence lingers in the air, so loud, And I can't shake the feeling you're still around. You said you'd love me 'til the stars went out, But now they're dimming, I can feel the doubt. I read the letters, I keep them close, But they don't mean a thing when you're not home. Fading letters, slipping through my hands, I thought we had forever, but I couldn't understand. You were the words I needed to hear, But now you're just a memory that's disappearing here. And I'm still holding on, though I know I should let go, Fading letters in the quiet, and I'm feeling all alone. I see your smile in every face I meet, It's like you never left, but you're still out of reach. I try to breathe through all the empty space, But it's hard when I still hear your name. I thought I'd be okay by now, But I'm still holding on to who we were somehow. I tell myself that time will heal, But right now it just doesn't feel real. Fading letters, slipping through my hands, I thought we had forever, but I couldn't understand. You were the words I needed to hear, But now you're just a memory that's disappearing here. And I'm still holding on, though I know I should let go, Fading letters in the quiet, and I'm feeling all alone. Maybe you were right, maybe I was wrong, Maybe this was something I was holding on too long. But I can't stop dreaming of the time we shared, Even when I know you're no longer there. Fading letters, slipping through my hands, I thought we had forever, but I couldn't understand. You were the words I needed to hear, But now you're just a memory that's disappearing here. And I'm still holding on, though I know I should let go, Fading letters in the quiet, and I'm feeling all alone. I'm holding on, but you're already gone, Fading letters in the quiet, where we don't belong.
