Made a list of songs you’d love
Kept the sad ones just enough
Even threw in your favorite band
Thought you'd play it back, hand in hand
This song was made for two
But it’s just me in this room
Hit replay, pretend again
That you might tune in soon
It’s a playlist for no one
But I still hit play
Hoping maybe somehow
You’d stumble my way
Every lyric’s a message
I know you won’t hear
Still I press loop
Like you’re still near
The chorus hits where you once stood
I fade out like I knew I would
Tried to skip, but there you are
In every beat, in every bar
Your voice was the harmony
That my melodies needed
Now it’s echoing empty
Like a solo uncompleted
It’s a playlist for no one
But I keep it close
Like a letter unsent
That only I chose
I play it for memories
That won't rewind
A mixtape of silence
You left behind
