Your face lives in the glow
Something I almost lost
Like a dream I can't replay
It fades more every day
Your name sounds different now
Soft like a broken vow I don't feel the hurt the same
Just echoes when we say your name
Time edits what we were
Softens every blur
I don't fight it anymore
I let it drift, I let it pour
Filtered memories,
soft and thin
I barely feel the way you've been My love looks different now
Like a shadow I have allowed
Filtered memory, warped soul
I don't
chase it,
I let it go You live where the light gets weak
In the parts of me that don't speak
The room still smells like rain
But it doesn't say your name Your laugh is quieter now
Like a ghost I don't ask how I don't rewind,
I don't pretend
I don't need it back again I keep you soft,
I keep you small
Like a photograph on the wall Nothing sharp,
nothing loud
Just love beneath a cloud I breathe in,
I release
You become my peace Filtered memories,
soft and thin
I barely feel the way you've been My love looks different now
Like a shadow I have allowed
Filtered memory,
warped soul I don't
chase it,
I let it go You live where the light gets
weak In the parts of me that don't speak
Some love only survives as it rains
