Velvet Voice - Closer Than Before

Same book,
Same chip, blue rim.
Your coffee ring
Still on my sink.
You left your sweater
On the back of that chair.
I try to fold it up,
But it keeps you in the air.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone—
Every little space you left
Pulls me like a song.
I feel you
Closer than before,
Even when you're gone.
Traffic comes through the half-closed blinds,
TVs talking low—I let it roll.
Your keys swing from the nail
By the door. But I hear you laughing
Down this quiet floor.
I feel you
Closer than before,
