Lyric

I fell in love through a glowing screen

2AM blue-light dopamine

Your pixel smile and your typing sound

Tiny hearts when my phone buzzed loud

You sent me songs from 2009

Nightcore dreams and a broken timeline

Said “don’t grow up, it’s a trap outside”

So we stayed online another night

You looked like an anime ending scene

Static stars and a washed-out dream

Every word felt soft and compressed

Like old MP3s we never deleted yet

And all our friends were usernames

Changing aesthetics, changing names

But somehow you still felt real to me

In all that endless scrolling feed

We kissed in the middle of a video call

Both pretending we were not scared at all

Your bedroom LEDs flickered pink and white

Like a dying arcade late at night

You said

“if the servers die someday

Promise me we’ll stay this way”

Frozen forever in JPEG light

Young enough to never log out of life

Now every notification sound

Feels like your ghost still hanging around

And every old browser tab I keep

Turns your memory back on for me

I still hear your voice in autotune haze

Half human touch, half internet wave

Like a pop song buffering in the dark

Trying to reconnect my heart
