Lyric

Found a ribbon caught in the corner

Of the suitcase you left behind

Faded red like a whispered secret

Still tangled up with your outline

Every thread is holding a heartbeat

Every fold still knows your name

The ribbon remembers

What I try to forget

It falls like a feather

On the days we first met

Your hair in the sunlight

Dancing warm in the breeze

The ribbon remembers—

Even when you’re not with me

If I tie it around my finger

Will the memory loosen its hold?

Or will it tighten like a promise

That we never got to unfold?

The ribbon remembers…

So I don’t have to anymore
