Write an emotional ballad about grieving the loss of someone deeply loved. The narrator feels a constant, aching homesickness—not for a place, but for the presence of someone who is no longer alive or reachable. Use imagery of chasing shadows, holding onto old clothes, photos, and fading memories to express the desperation of trying to keep the person close. Include feelings of regret, missed conversations, and the pain of unspoken words. The chorus should capture the hopeless pursuit of something that can't be caught: a ghost, a silhouette, a shadow. Use soft piano or acoustic guitar as the base, with atmospheric, haunting instrumentation to match the sorrowful mood. The overall tone should be raw, intimate, and heart-wrenching — something that comforts those who are also grieving someone they’ve lost.
In the image, a young girl stands alone in a forest, wearing a pink sweater and holding onto a photo of her loved one. She appears to be lost in thought, possibly reminiscing about the memories they shared. The forest setting adds a sense of solitude and introspection to the scene. The girl's posture and facial expression convey a deep sense of longing and sadness, as she struggles to come to terms with the loss of her loved one. The overall atmosphere of the image is somber and heart-wrenching, evoking feelings of empathy and understanding for those who have experienced similar loss.

[Verse 1] I still sleep in your old sweater It smells like you, though it's fraying at the seams I trace the outline in faded photographs Where your smile holds all my dreams [Verse 2] The house is quiet, too quiet now I talk to the walls like you're still around Left your shoes by the door, can't throw them out I wear your absence like a crown [Pre-Chorus] I hear you in echoes, I feel you in rain But reaching for you only deepens the pain [Chorus] I'm chasing your shadow down these empty halls Grasping at silence, waiting for your calls But you're a ghost in the light, a whisper in the night Gone where I can't follow, out of sight [Verse 3] I found a note you never sent Folded neatly with your scent So many words we left unsaid They haunt me like the things we did [Bridge] If time could break and bend for me I'd say the things you’ll never hear One more laugh, one more fight One more day to hold you near [Chorus] I'm chasing your shadow down these empty halls Grasping at silence, waiting for your calls But you're a ghost in the light, a whisper in the night Gone where I can't follow, out of sight [Outro] So I’ll stay here with your memory Wrapped in the ache of what used to be And whisper my love to the moon above Still chasing your shadow endlessly [End]
