Fade Away

You're right here

And I still miss you

I sit right next to you

And I still miss you

I can touch you, hold you

I can feel your breath increasing

Your heart racing

Your pupils dilating

I feel the goosebumps you get

Your body stiffens up, the closer I get

You're right here

In my arms

And yet

The strong and deep feeling

That you've long left

Like Thanos snapped his fingers

Instead of half the universe

He took all of mine away

And here I'm left with your silhouette

Your energy, your memories

Your stories and tales

I get lost in your eyes

Once filled with hope

Now they feel empty, they feel dried

Have you cried all your dreams away?

Have you lost everything?

I don't feel the same aura anymore

The person I knew isn't there anymore

I peek inside, I knock the door

You don't answer anymore

Yet you're right here

Right here in my arms

Still cold, still shivering

You look worried

You look terrified

I look at your lips

And I want to kiss you

But you're not there anymore

And I don't know this person I hold right now

I lean back up and I let go of you

You stand there, puzzled,

Confused

I turn around and walk away out of this empty hall

You turn around and run up the staircase

I reminisce the first time I held you

You were different

You were amazing

I know you're there somewhere

I'm always there for you

No matter how hard I try to forget

I still miss you.
