When the smallest things remain and every promise has been removed? I forgot the words we spoke, but I remember something more The way the whole world changed beneath the colour that you wore The street was wet, the evening lights were trembling in the rain You turned and smiled so casually, then nothing stayed the same I never knew a single glance could settle in so deep Or that a shade of fabric could keep following my sleep I cleared away the photographs and packed away your things I changed the room, the route I take, the songs my phone still brings But sometimes in a crowded place, that colour crosses by My heart forgets the years between and thinks you’ve changed your mind How do I move on when the moment never moved? When the smallest things remain and every promise has been removed? I forgot the words we spoke, but I remember something more The way the whole world changed beneath the colour that you wore They say, “Bro, she has forgotten what you looked like long ago” I laugh because the honest answer hurts too much to show She may not know my birthday or remember why we fought While I preserve one evening like a photograph in thought Maybe I am not still waiting for you to return Maybe I just miss the man I was before I had to learn That someone can become a ghost while living somewhere near And one forgotten colour can survive an entire year If letting go means losing every proof that it was real Then tell me what remains of all the things I used to feel I know that you are gone, and I know what moving’s for But knowing never changed the fact I still recall what you wore Tomorrow I will wake again and leave the past alone I’ll walk beyond the places that still make me check my phone But tonight the room is crimson and the shadows cross the floor And somewhere in that dying light, I see the colour you wore
