Here I inscribe every laugh and smile I missed
Where the words unspoken live out their dreams
Where gravity isn’t so heavy and light only fades
If you let it
It takes very little to tear it all down, never more
Burned away embers that fly away, forever more
The most precious things slip away
If you let it
So gentle the cut, as if on a razor’s edge
Imperceptible until finally setting in
Scatter, and carry these images, these words
Somewhere far away where I cannot follow
Bind and seal them in your heart where I can’t reach
This is where dreams and reality do meet
Without time or place they become one with eternity
And the memories we embed with one last glance
Cease to come to mind
Here is where I dream of that smile I missed
Where words unspoken lose time and place
The gravity of remembering begins to set in
If I let it
So gently they cut, as if on a razor’s edge
Imperceptible until finally setting in
Fragment, and carry this frame, this goodbye
Somewhere far away where I cannot follow
Bind and seal them in your heart where I can’t reach
Knowing how fragile we really are
Knowing it will one day slip away
If we let it
