Love Slipped Away - Niko Jarell
Morning haze drifts through the pane
Traces of your touch remain
Soft piano hums a tender tone
I've moved along, yet shadows stay
Lingering gently through the day
The world spins on, yet I remain
Feeling love that slipped away
I thought time could ease the ache
But some moments never break
Love slipped away, I stand
Holding fragments in my hand
With the dreams I couldn't keep
With the nights I spent awake, not sleep
Days move on, yet I persist
Finding calm within the mist
Love slipped away, not broken
Just cradling what I need to trust
Subtle bass hums beneath my chest
Carrying all I left unexpressed
Edison's flow soft and white
Rapping moments I can't hide
I've learned to breathe to face the night
Yes, some memories guard their light
Every silence tells a tale
Every calm feels slightly frail
I let go, yet shadows cling
Time can erase everything
Love slipped away, I stand
Holding fragments in my hand
With the dreams I couldn't keep
With the nights I spent awake, not sleep
Days move on, yet I persist
Finding calm within the mist
Love slipped away, not broken
Just cradling what I need to trust
If moving on is meant to heal
Why do some feelings still feel real?
I'm not lost, I've only learned
Some hearts remain where they once burned
Love slipped away, I rise
Facing truth behind my eyes
The pain is soft, the heart survives
I'm still here, still alive
Piano fades, I remain
Not ashamed of what's to stay
Love slipped away, and that's okay
It proves I loved along the way
Time moved on, but I remain
Holding light within the rain
Love slipped away, I stay
Carrying lessons every day
