Mmm,
mmm
The real clicks once, a soft rewind
Your laugh still stuck between the lines
Type goodnight on a ribbon key
You always sign, don't forget me
The ink has faded but not the tone
Some goodbyes hum like dialed tones Film dust typed goodnight
Your shadow in the lamp,
soft light Letters pressed,
not sent away
We live slow in a fast run day Crackled tape and postcards bent
All the love that time forgets You can't edit a Polaroid
A coffee stain on your old note Still smells like cologne and quotes
We never called it anything Just stayed until the clock would ring
Every pause was meant to stay We had a way of losing gray
