[Intro]
Soft rain taps the window, a clock keeps time on my chest
I scroll through the quiet, count every unanswered text
[Verse 1]
I trace your name in circles, like a map of what we were
Every ding in the distance used to shimmer, now it blurs
I keep looking for a sign, but the glow is hollow and thin
If you’re still out there somewhere, I’m waiting for a perhaps to begin
[Chorus]
Tell me you’re somewhere close, tell me you’re not gone
Send a breath, a whisper, a reason to hold on
I’m here in the quiet, loving you in the delay
Hoping your reply will find its way back to me someday
[Verse 2]
The room is full of echoes of a laugh I almost remember
I braid my hopeful thoughts, but they tie me tighter to this ember
Each message is a doorway with a lock I cannot turn
If you found someone new, I’d rather hear it than pretend I’m sure
[Bridge]
If you’re chasing a shadow too, tell me I’m not alone
If the path bends away, I’ll learn to walk it on my own
But until the night grows thin and the dawn reveals your face
I’ll hold onto a patient prayer, let it linger in this space
[Chorus]
Tell me you’re somewhere close, tell me you’re not gone
Send a breath, a whisper, a reason to hold on
I’m here in the quiet, loving you in the delay
Hoping your reply will find its way back to me someday
[Outro]
Until the screen lights up with your truth, I’ll keep listening for your voice
In the steady ache of waiting, I’ll choose between doubt and choice
If receipts of love return, I’ll rise from this grey
And meet you where forgiveness glows at the end of the day
