lost myself in thought
your echo in air
closed my eyes saw you
two heartbeats apart
tried to spell out forgiveness
but my lips can't shape it
this distance keeps folding
just me on my side
did we break quietly?
was I too proud?
left all your letters cold
in that empty drawer
chasing the warmth
it never stayed
endless distance, each night
we built our walls out of silence
can't find the start or end
just aching, just apart
so close, yet always missing
your touch across the darkness
trace the line from memory
still holding on to nothing
only half the words
scattered on the floor
no right way
no right time
lost what I'd meant to say
quiet in between
speaking
feeling
love doesn't fade
can't erase your name
in each space you left behind
just emptiness with your shape
just the piano, just my truth
wishing you'd walk in
if I am the fault
does forgiveness find me?
I keep writing apologies
to the air you aren’t breathing
faithful to memories
I linger in longing
endless distance, each night
we built our walls out of silence
can't find the start or end
just aching, just apart
endless distance, each night
ad-lib falsetto runs
pain in the letting go
still the shape of you remains
