No One Like You
Lena Harper


I held your
Coat that rainy night
You smiled like nothing was wrong
But the hush in your voice said goodbye
Before you even moved on
You said, "Don't wait for me."
But I still wait in every dream
And every man since you has worn
The shadow of what you once seemed
'Cause no one walks the way you did
No one laughs and makes it rain
No one knows my name the way
You whispered through the pain
I keep on loving shadows
But they never pull me through —
There's just
No one like you
They try with roses, try with songs
But none can fill your space
I smile for them, but it feels so wrong —
Like I'm dancing in your place
They touch my hand, they say my name
But it's your voice in the air
The only man who broke my heart
Is still the only one who cared
'Cause no one walks the way you did
No one burns and leaves the blue
No one fades the way you left
Too bright to hold on to
And I keep searching faces
For the echo that was you
But there's
No one like you
I wish I hated you
It would've hurt much less
But love like yours
Leaves no regrets
Only emptiness
No one holds me quite the same
No one sees my heart so true
I've lived a thousand lives since then
But I still belong to you
And when the last star flickers
I'll still whisper through the blue
There's no one
No one like you
