Through the curtains

Sunlight slips between
The folds of the curtain
And just like that, your shadow returns
Thought I had let you go
But your voice, your smile
Still quietly shake me
Your number’s still saved
But I can’t press the call
Though I know better,
My heart still reaches out
Through the curtain
Your memory shines in
I told myself you had disappeared
Like a tear
Hidden in the midday light
Your trace refuses to fade
Just one name
Resting in my hand
Feels too heavy to hold
Hovering my thumb
Above your name again
Confirming the end we chose
Can’t see you
Can’t touch you
But still, you live
Inside the hours of my day
Through the curtain
Your memory shines in
I told myself you had disappeared
Like a tear
Hidden in the midday light
Your trace refuses to fade
Through the curtain
You find your way back
Though I swore I’d finally moved on
Like warm light
You’re still here somehow
Clearer than any night we shared~~~
