I see my breath in the cold again
floating like ghosts in the station wind
don’t speak…it disappears too fast
everything we said turns to glass
streetlights bend in frozen rain
your name still echoes in my veins
we walked too far just to feel alive
but the city swallowed every sign
hands in pockets silence loud
lost in every passing crowd
I can’t tell if you’re still near
or just the shape of disappearing here
every word turns white then breaks
every touch just fades away
I swear I saw you in the steam
but it’s only me again it seems
white breath in the neon snow
I reach for you but you don’t show
frozen light on your face tonight
we vanish in the streetlight
white breath in the neon glow
say my name then let it go
I can feel you then you’re gone
like winter writing on my lungs
don’t fade…don’t fade…
I still see you in the haze
cold air…cold air…
we were never really there
subway hum like a broken prayer
I trace your shadow in the air
every second stretches thin
like a memory I’m trapped in
your voice on a looping delay
dissolves before it can stay
I think I loved you in a dream
or in static between machines
every breath becomes a sign
of a love I left behind
I try to hold you in my chest
but you turn into emptiness
white breath in the neon snow
I’m still here but I feel so slow
frozen light in your empty eyes
we dissolve into winter skies
white breath in the neon glow
I call your name but you don’t know
I can feel you then you’re gone
like winter writing on my lungs
I see my breath…
so I know I’m still here…
but you’re already gone…
in the snow…in the snow…
