Velvet sky

I close my eyes and let my senses drift,
To a ghost of a place where the shadows shift.
Back to the days when we were finally one,
Fading out slow in the gold of the sun.

The salty breeze... it’s a memory now,
The way it would brush the hair from your brow.
I looked in your eyes, so deep and so true,
And I’m still drowning deep in that sea of blue.

We laughed over nothing, just wasting the day,
Before the cold wind blew the summer away.
Now there’s a distance, a static, a space,
And the silence is all that’s left in your place.

The streetlights flicker, the room’s getting cold,
And I’m holding onto a hand I can’t hold.
The coffee is bitter, the record just skips,
I’m tracing the ghost of a smile on your lips.

Perhaps you’re out there, just dreaming of me,
A mirror image of what used to be.
And in that thin air, our wandering spirits fly,
To touch for a second in a velvet sky.

And even if it’s just a trick of the mind,
A fragment of light that we left behind—
For a heartbeat, the ache in my chest starts to depart,
And a little bit of "us" returns to my heart.
