Lyric

You drew my name in the fog

On the cracked bus window glass

You said

“One day

We’ll go far”

Then laughed like it might pass

Cherry lip balm

Winter coat

My gloves on your cold hands

Every stop felt like a choice

Stay here

Or change the plan

I still see us in that frozen station

Breath in the air like a confession

You said

“I’ll wait

” but the train pulled through

Doors slid closed on a conversation

I’ve kissed strangers in every nation

Still every promise sounds like you

We burned CDs after school

Sharpie hearts on every side

You hummed along

Out of tune

Feet on the dashboard

Reckless pride

Phone calls past midnight

Hiding under tangled sheets

Both of us planning futures

We were too young to keep

I still hear us in that late-night static

Cheap flip phone and a heart too frantic

You said

“I’m fine

” but your voice shook too

Screen went dark

And the night turned quiet

I’ve chased comfort

Changed my climate

Still every goodbye feels like you

We rented that tiny place

Peeling paint and leaky sink

Shared a drawer

Shared a debt

Shared the way we’d overthink

You danced in the kitchen light

Bare feet on the broken tiles

Arguing about the bills

Then making up for miles

I still feel us in that crowded silence

Dirty dishes

Stupid pride

Defiance

You said

“I’m tired

” as you tied your shoe

Door clicked soft like a slow decision

I’ve drawn maps with new revisions

Still every distance leads to you

Years stack up on the shelf

Like receipts we never read

I scroll past your new life

Sip my coffee

Watch it steam

Friends say I dodged a storm

Guess they never knew the sky

How you’d color every dawn

Just by being by my side

I still find us in the smallest moments

Empty seat and a half-spent token

You said

“Move on

” but you said it blue

I’ve learned mercy

I’ve earned my grieving

You’re the echo in every leaving

Still every almost sounds like you

Maybe somewhere you’re still laughing

At some stranger’s awful joke

Maybe somewhere I stop asking

Why the right hearts miss their road

If we met now

In this lifetime

At a crosswalk

Passing through

Would you feel that old horizon

Or just nod and say

“Who knew?”
