CharFutur - What We Left Behind

Heat
I found your ribbon on the bedroom floor
Right where you dropped it by the open door
The dust is settling in the afternoon light
And I'm still wishing you were here tonight
We built a castle out of summer dreams
But now it's tearing at the very seams
I hear your laughter though the room is still
I guess I always will
Be the sweetest pages that we could find
A cup of coffee that has grown so cold
The beautiful stories that will go untold
I'm holding on to what is already gone
Just waiting for what we left behind
Your favorite sweater sitting on the chair
It holds the memory of your braided hair
I trace the outline of your empty space
I see the kindness of your fading face
