Linger

We danced under neon skies

Remember your electric eyes

Whispers lost in bass and beats

Heartache found in crowded streets

Your touch was my melody

In a world of our own symmetry

Night turned to memories in dust

Shattered dreams I used to trust

But you linger in my soul

Gone but never whole

A love that took its toll

Fading as the dawn stole

I hear your voice in echoes loud

Even when I'm lost in the crowd

Your laughter in the empty nights

Cuts through the city lights

We were like a perfect song

Notes that never lasted long

You and I a fleeting dream

Lost within a silent scream

But you linger in my soul

Gone but never whole

A love that took its toll

Fading as the dawn stole
