When I Think of You

When I Think of You - NiExshadow

Morning light

falls across the floor

But it doesn't

warm me anymore

Your coffee cup

is gone from the shelf

Yet I still pour two without thinking myself

Every street

reminds me of your smile

Every song

can take me back a mile

I tell my heart it's time to move along

But somehow it keeps proving me wrong

I've learned to live with empty space

but I still remember every trace

No matter where this road takes me

When I think of you

the world stands still

Like time forgets to move until

I hear your laughter in the wind

and feel your hand beneath my skin

When I think of you

the tears still fall

Like you never really left at all

Some loves never fade from view

That's what happens when I think of you

The seasons change outside my door

But my heart keeps waiting like before

Photographs grow older every day

Yet your eyes have never faded away

I've met a thousand strangers since goodbye

Still no one sees me through your eyes

Maybe healing isn't letting go

Maybe it's learning to carry what we know

The memories are all that's left to hold

I'll treasure every story ever told

Though distance keeps us worlds apart

You'll always have a room inside my heart

When I think of you

I find the light

Hidden softly in the darkest night

Though forever changed by what we've been

I'd choose your love all over again

When I think of you

I smile through tears

Holding close our borrowed years

Some hearts never stop being true

Every beat still whispers you

When I think of you

I always think of you
