The curtains moved
Like somebody quietly leaving
Summer light across the floor
Before the evening disappeared
You used to wear my jacket
Even when the air turned warm
And lean against the window
Like the city belonged to us
Back then
Silence never felt empty
Your heartbeat somewhere in the dark
Was enough to calm the world
Now certain melodies
Still arrive without warning
Like finding your reflection
Inside unfamiliar streets
You were my first love
Before I understood
How a person can become
Part of the air you breathe
And even now
Some nights still open slowly
Like piano echoes floating
Through an empty room
You were the last time
The world felt untouched
Winter settles softly over Heidelberg
Silver water under frozen lights
Everyone here keeps moving forward
Like they were born knowing how
And I keep hearing your laughter
Inside passing conversations
Like an old cassette rewinding
Somewhere underneath the noise
People talk about moving on
Like closing a familiar door
But some things stay half-open
For the rest of your life
You were my first love
The quiet kind that lingers
Long after the moment fades
Into another season
And even now
When the city finally sleeps
I still hear your name
Between the rain and the river
Maybe forever only exists
While it’s disappearing
Maybe love becomes eternal
The moment we can’t return
You were my first love
The part of me time couldn’t take
Like distant music playing
From another apartment
And every winter night
Still carries traces of you
Soft as dust on piano keys
After everybody leaves
Still there
Somewhere…
