The Quiet Between Us

There's a silence on the windowsill Where your echoes used to breathe I touch the places you once warmed But all they do is freeze Your heartbeat lingers in the dust A ghost I can't let go I'm standing where the shadows meet But you're somewhere in the snow

I reach for you in every fading light But all I feel is everything we couldn't hold tight

In the quiet between us I hear the truth we tried to hide Love was softer in the darkness But it broke when morning arrived I'm still tracing all the fault lines Where we finally came undone— In the quiet between us I'm the only one who stays

Your name still trembles on my lips A word too fragile now to speak I kept the pieces of our warmth Like a flame becoming weak I close my eyes to see you clear But memories always blur Some loves are meant to winter out— I guess this one was yours

I reach for you in every fading light But all I feel is everything we couldn't get right

In the quiet between us I hear the truth we tried to hide Love was softer in the darkness But it broke when morning arrived I'm still tracing all the fault lines Where we finally came undone— In the quiet between us I'm the only one who stays

If I could hold you one more time Maybe the cold would finally break

In the quiet between us I learned how fragile hearts can be Some goodbyes don't sound like endings— They just fade into the breeze I still stand inside the silence Of the love we couldn't save— In the quiet between us I'm the echo you forgave
