The World Is Quiet Without You Around

The world is quiet without you around.
What once was filled with your joy and laughter,
Now emptiness, white noise, silence, surround.
You left me, then my heart followed after.

The world is quiet without you around,
And I admit I miss you quite terribly,
After you left my world has turned around.
Thinking of you pains me unbearably.

The world is quiet without you around.
Does my name ever come up in your mind?
Memories of us keep replaying with no sound.
My thoughts are muted, and my love is blind.

Yet, when I see you, I can’t help the heat
In my cheeks, or the way my heart skips a beat.
