More Than a Letter

You exist as a letter
That sits up on my shelf
As a series of words
I have to search to tell myself
So I don't have to face
Your beautiful lines that I can't trace
Or the things we shared
Memories, how they fade, just like the color in your hair

And today we're moving on
From the emptiness I sit in since you've gone

And it's been a year
And every couple days
I think of three words
I never got to say
But they'll sit in the stories
That we'll both write
Of a being with brilliance
And another lacking might

And today we're moving on
From the emptiness I sit in since you've gone
And today we're moving on (every letter echoes it)
From the emptiness I sit in since you've gone

And today we're moving on
From the emptiness I sit in since you've gone
And today we're moving on (every letter echoes it)
From the emptiness I sit in since you've gone
From the emptiness I sit in since you've gone
The emptiness I sit in since you've gone
