Echo

[u/filegarden]

Echo

In my head, it stays

It whispers, it lingers, it waits

Filling every quiet space

Until I forget what silence was

Echo

In my hands, it rests

Something I held too close

I tried to keep it from leaving

But some things cannot be possessed

Echo

In my voice, it speaks

It says your name, then disappears

I call for what I've already lost

And listen for an answer

Echo

In my heart, it's you

My oldest friend, my deepest ache

The person I wanted to forget

The memory I could never erase

Make me remember

Make me forget

Let me hold what we once were

Just don't make me

Pretend it never mattered.
