[Intro]
Soft rain on the window, a slow, patient night
I count the breaths between shadows and light
[Verse 1]
In this quiet room, I hold a memory close
A name that's almost there, like smoke on a rose
The ache sits in my chest, a soft, enduring light
Longing folds the hourglass, til morning loses sight
[Pre-Chorus]
If I whisper your name, do the walls remember too?
Every corner hums a lullaby I once knew
[Chorus]
I ache for where you are, though you’re not far away
A tide of memories ebbs and flows with every day
Between the breaths I keep you near, I stay
In this quiet, gentle ache that won’t fade away
[Verse 2]
Footprints in the dust fade into the past
I walk the room you left, but you’re a shadow cast
The window frames a distant dawn, a pale blue gray
I listen for your voice, it’s only wind and rain
[Pre-Chorus]
If I whisper your name, do the walls remember too?
Every corner hums a lullaby I once knew
[Chorus]
I ache for where you are, though you’re not far away
A tide of memories ebbs and flows with every day
Between the breaths I keep you near, I stay
In this quiet, gentle ache that won’t fade away
[Bridge]
Let the night hold me gently, like a familiar shawl
I trace a line of stars that spell your name in the dark
[Chorus]
I ache for where you are, though you’re not far away
A tide of memories ebbs and flows with every day
Between the breaths I keep you near, I stay
In this quiet, gentle ache that won’t fade away
[Outro]
Soft rain softens, and I listen for the dawn’s soft call
Until then I’ll carry your echo through it all
