Silent Melody

I found your letter in a hidden box
Between a scarf and memories lost
The paper wore your old perfume
But not the truth that filled my room
Your voice returned between each line
A song unfinished, lost in time

Each word a ghost I can't let go
Still humming what I'll never know

Song without a voice, playing in my mind
Notes without a sound, words I'll never find
Dancing in the wind, haunting in my dreams
This is my silent melody

I hum the tune we never wrote
Each line a wish caught in my throat
I see your shadow next to me
A breath, a flicker, everything could be
But I wake up to nothing real
Just phantom chords I'll always feel

No voice, no touch, no way to stay,
But something pulls and won't obey.

Song without a voice, playing in my mind
Notes without a sound, words I'll never find
Dancing in the wind, haunting in my dreams
This is my silent melody

I won't scream, I won't cry
But I won't let this song just die
I'll carry it, though you're not near
A melody that I can only hear

No stage, no spotlight, no more words to say
A silent song that won't fade away
No anger, no pride, no last goodbye
Just shadows where your love used to lie
But still... this is my silent melody
