Color in the Quiet

Window cracked, warm air flows

Lying down in yesterday’s clothes

Thought I’d forget, but I was wrong

You’re in the quiet, all along

The world moves slow, like melted ice

But your memory feels alive

You paint the silence in softest blue

Even the stillness sings of you

No words, no sound, yet I feel it grow

A color in the quiet only I know

Ceiling fan hums a lazy beat

But you're the rhythm underneath

I play your laugh in endless loops

In quiet corners, I find the truth

I breathe you in through passing skies

A ghost in pastel light

You paint the silence in softest blue

Even the stillness sings of you

No words, no sound, yet I feel it grow

A color in the quiet only I know

Not every love needs to be loud

Some stay in shadows, soft and proud

And maybe that’s just where we live

In every pause, in all I give

You paint the silence in softest blue

Even the stillness sings of you

And though you’re gone, your echo shows

In color in the quiet only I know
