Mila

There’s a quiet where your laugh should be,
Memories fly away like autumn leaves
Our simple nights drift out of view
Your side untouched, like it’s waiting for you

I watch the colors start to fade,
Our picture torn, the edges frayed
You’re years away, yet here somehow,
An echo stuck in my messy mind

An echo of you, it’s all I have left,
Everything I had just slipped away
Your voice still lingers like an old Berlin song,
You take my breath away, I still hold on

I search the skies, but stars don’t show,
Hold my hand in fire but still feel cold
I taste your lips with every breath,
See glimpses of you in people you left

You’ve gone so far, but I’ll see you one day,
A hope that logic can’t take away
I carry the pieces, they sometimes blur,
But in the quiet nights, you still return

An echo of you, it’s all I have left,
Everything I had just slipped away
Your voice still lingers like an old Fleetwood song,
I’ll love you, I’ll love you, like never before

Life goes on and sadness bends
Our beginning found its unhappy end
But I’ll write your songs, I’ll carry you,
So when I’m gone they’ll remember you

An echo of you, it’s all I have left,
Everything I had just slipped away
Your voice still lingers like an old Dylan song,
You’ve made me lonesome now that you’re gone

You voice still lingers like a song I can’t forget
It’s selfish, but I wish you’d never left
