Forgotten Us Slowly - Aliza
The settling on the frames
We don't say each other's names
Sigh once where our laughter was
Like we're forgetting us
Coffee cups on separate sides
Polite smiles we try to hide
We still talk about the day
That something slipped away
Your hand resting next to mine
Feels distant every time
We don't argue, we don't cry
We just let it slowly die
We're forgetting us
Slowly tonight
Not a war, not a fight
Just the quiet fading glow
Of a love we used to know
We're forgetting us
Slowly, still
In the pauses we don't fill
Standing close but feeling lonely
We're forgetting us slowly
Photos hanging on the wall
Don't look like us at all
Laughter softer than before
Doesn't echo anymore
You still ask if I'm okay
In that careful, distant way
I still answer with a smile
But it's been a while
Maybe neither one is wrong
Maybe love just wasn't strong
No villain left to blame
Just a dimming flame
We're forgetting us
Slowly tonight
Not a war, not a fight
Just the quiet fading glow
Of a love we used to know
We're forgetting us
Slowly, still
In the pauses we don't fill
Standing close but feeling lonely
We're forgetting us slowly
No crash, no dramatic show
Just letting go
Forgetting us slowly
