We shared a cover from the rain
Your shoulder brushed then moved again
A drop slid off your quiet coat
A moment balanced,
still afloat I held the handle in one hand
Too close to speak,
too soft to stand The crosswall coming down so slow
But neither one began to go The hush between us felt so tight
Drizzle turning off the light No words but still too loud inside
The red light blinked, your heel set back
You'd catch your sleeve, I watched the track
No question passed between our eyes
Just weathered resting smoke advice
You looked ahead,
I glanced aside Both waiting till the noise would slide
The crosswall coming down so slow But neither one began to go
The hush between us felt so tight Light drizzle turning off the light
The rain spoke louder than we did
And still we stayed beneath the lid
One drop ran down your collar line I almost said it,
I wasn't fine
But silence kept its fragile base Just breathing under borrowed space
The crosswall coming down so slow But neither one began to go
The hush between us felt so tight Light drizzle turning off the light
Still waiting
on the shared goodbye
