Wait, the night is still a breath away
your echo lingers like smoke in the hallway
I count the heartbeats between the stars
each one a promise that never got far
Jilda whispers through the static sky
“hold on, hold on, don’t say goodbye”
we dance on the edge of almost and gone
two shadows stitched by an unfinished song
wait, let the silence learn our name
tomorrow may never sound the same
