Curtains moving with the air
Morning light not rushing in
I forgot the weight I carried
When I stopped holding everything
The city’s still half asleep
So am I, in a better way
No thoughts knocking at my door
They finally learned to wait
I don’t count the hours anymore
I don’t chase the sound
I just let my heartbeat lead
When everything slows down
I’m breathing in slow motion
Every second wide
Nothing pulling at my chest
Nothing left to hide
I don’t need to be somewhere else
I don’t need a sign
I’m breathing in slow motion
And I’m doing fine
Footsteps echo far away
Like a memory passing through
I don’t turn around this time
There’s nothing left to lose
The mirror feels a little kind
Doesn’t ask me who I am
I like the way the silence stays
Without needing a plan
No name stuck on my tongue
No story to retell
Just a calm I didn’t know
But somehow recognize
I’m breathing in slow motion
Letting go feel light
Even the dark feels gentle
When you don’t fight the night
I don’t need to be stronger
I don’t need to try
I’m breathing in slow motion
And I’m still alive
Maybe peace isn’t loud
Maybe it’s this small
A space between two breaths
Where nothing hurts at all
I’m breathing in slow motion
The morning almost here
If love was just a moment
I’m thankful it was real
I don’t rush the ending
I let it pass by
I’m breathing in slow motion
Under a softening sky
Inhale
Exhale
