The beat within my chest stays strong and pure
Through tides of those who choose to stay or leave
Through corridors of thought I walk, unsure
Yet mirrors show the self I now perceive
Walk with me down these streets of shifting shade
Where whispered words drift softly on the breeze
Did sunlight paint your path in brighter grade
Did distant shores bring all your heart to ease
I ask not for the stories of your dawn
My heart has weathered storms enough to last
Though painted words might beckon and might spawn
I choose to walk alone through shadows cast
The night reveals what daylight cannot show
With secrets written in the stars above
Lie here beside me, let the silence grow
And speak without the weight of fading love
Though reasons slip like water through my hands
I carry questions like a gentle rain
These fragments of our past, like shifting sands
Build strength within the spaces that remain
So was the journey worth the price of flight
Did peace embrace you on your distant shore
Keep still your words-I need no answers bright
For echoes of what was fade evermore
