Lyric

It’s been a year

Since you went away

I know you won’t reply

But I send it anyway

Your name I can’t delete

Still glows across the screen

You’re not coming back

But this place stays open

No one will read it

But my fingers still remember

It says delivered

To somewhere I can’t go

Like you received it quietly

Where I will never know

Your birthday still arrives

Your icon never changes

I trace the old messages

And your voice feels warm again

Heaven gets no notifications

I still send them anyway

It says delivered

And I want to believe

In a world without you

I pretend we’re still connected
