Lyric

Screen light on my face

Your name at the top of the page

All these sentences

Stacked like folded letters

Cursor waits and blinks

Tiny heartbeat on the brink

I rewrite every line

Before it ever reaches you

All these words left unsent

They circle my heart

Never crossing the distance

Never falling apart

If silence is what you need

I will hold what I meant

Let it rest in the dark

All these words left unsent

I type “I miss you still”

Then soften it

Then backspace it

Trade truth for something safe

Then erase even that

Outside

The city sleeps

Inside

The thoughts don’t rest

I talk to you in my head

In a language you won’t hear

All these words left unsent

They circle my heart

Never crossing the distance

Never falling apart

If silence is what you need

I will hold what I meant

Let it rest in the dark

All these words left unsent

Maybe in another night

Every doubt would fall away

And I’d press send

And you would read

Every hidden part of me

But here in this quiet room

Only shadows understand

How heavy it is

To keep my hands held back

All these words left unsent

I let them stay

Not because I don’t feel

But because I can wait

If distance is what you need

I will honor the space

Let it fade in the dark

All these words left unsent
