Until Then Lyrics

The house doesn't creak the same, no pause upon the floor

Each corner filled with shadows where you once would snore

I come home to silence where laughter used to spill

In the quiet of the evening, I miss you still

Your leash hangs by the door just like any other day

But there's no joyful barking, no games left to play

My feet find your fur still clinging to the rug

Each strand a whispered memory, a soft heartbroken hug

In the silence of your wake, I wander through each room

Feeling echoes of your love now swallowed by the gloom

How I long for one more moment, one more wag of your tail

In the hush of my heart, where you left your trail

Night stretched into empty, the clock ticks out your song

Each tick a step away from you, each tock feels so wrong

The space beside my bed is cold, bereft of your warm light

I reach out into darkness, missing you each night

They say time will ease the pain and soon I'll find my way

But they never knew the heartbeat at my feet, each day

You were more than just a pet

You were family, my friend

In the quiet of this house, I can't pretend

In the silence of your wake, I trace where you would tread

Every corner holds a story, every space a bed

How I ache for your soft nuzzle, your gentle trusting eyes

In the stillness of this life, where your memory lies

So I'll sit here in this silence, letting tears freely flow

For the love that you gave me, for the joy you let me know

And I'll hold on to the moments, till I feel you nudge again

In the whispers of the wind, until then
