Moonlight floods the empty window sill
Memories stir and linger still
The stage of life has no lines for you to say
But my universe is lit by you alone
This dream, I’m too reluctant to leave behind
This person, too tangled in my heart to unwind
What can’t be erased, what can’t be replaced
What I can’t break free from, what I can’t un-taste
If this is fate, then why complain?
In my heart lies a dream I won’t wake from
Within it, a face I won’t leave behind
Fate gave me the right to love you,
But sealed the door that lets us entwine
Time runs deep, but this love won’t turn cold
The road runs long, yet meeting you was worth it all
Those who hold love close can never find peace
While what slips through our fingers takes the deepest hold
rap:
I count the nights since you’ve been gone, count every promise overdue
Streetlights sway, thoughts pile high, this ache has nowhere to go
They say who holds on tight will lose—I’ve heard it all before
But your eyes are the sweetness in my chest, the knot I can’t undo
The hand I never held, the street we never walked,
The words I never said—loving you is the only mercy fate allowed
How dare I call it wasted?
In my life, you’re the missing piece; in my soul, you’re the vow
This love has no need for forever—
It simply lives, somehow
Evening breeze strokes the faded platform sign
Your tenderness still warms my mind
The clock of time won’t sway my heart
The field of longing blooms for you alone
What can’t be erased, the shadow that stays
The feeling that’s carved into my veins
If the rest of my life is but a monologue,
Meeting you means it was never blank
In my heart lies a dream I won’t wake from
Within it, a face I won’t leave behind
Fate gave me the right to love you,
But sealed the door that lets us entwine
Time runs deep, but this love won’t turn cold
The road runs long, yet meeting you was worth it all
Those who hold love close can never find peace
While what slips through our fingers takes the deepest hold
I hold the dream, I hold your silhouette
I hold a longing that bears no regret
Time marches on, but the heart won’t move
This love has never once lost its hue
Even if we never walk the stars together,
You’re the most beautiful thing I’ll ever treasure
You may be absent from my days, but you live inside my soul
This love has never once pretended to be whole
What we held too soon, so hurriedly,
Makes what we lost the only memory I keep
You are my tender closure—
Soft, and complete.
