Please Don't Let Me Lose You

Please don't let me lose you

Not while my hands still reach the way they used to

Please don't let me lose you

I'm holding on to pieces I can't live through

You're fading like a midnight sigh

Soft and hollow, slipping by

I reach for you but touch the dark

A missing warmth, a missing spark

Your voice is quieter every day

A fragile thread that frays away

But even as you start to drift

My heart still moves toward your shift

If this is where our story bends

Then let me feel it as it ends

I still need your touch

Even if it doesn't linger half as much

I still need your breath

Even if it trembles like a fading step

I still need your eyes

Even as they practice long goodbyes

I still need your heart

Even when it's learning how to be apart

Please don't let me lose you

Not while my hands still reach the way they used to

Please don't let me lose you

I'm holding on to pieces I can't live through

Your silence falls like winter light

Cold and pale but somehow right

I say your name but hear it sink

Into the space between our sync

Your shadow moves a different line

No longer pressed against my spine

But even when you step aside

My heart still leans toward your side

If this is where our story bends

Then let me feel it as it ends

I still need your touch

Even if it doesn't linger half as much

I still need your breath

Even if it trembles like a fading step

I still need your eyes

Even as they practice long goodbyes

I still need your heart

Even when it's learning how to be apart

If letting go is what you choose

Then let me feel the truth of losing you

Not all at once—don't disappear

Just stay until the fading's clear

Please don't let me lose you

Not while my hands still reach the way they used to

Please don't let me lose you

I'm holding on to pieces I can't live through

Please don't let me lose you
