Lyrics

People think
love
is measured
in years.
Anniversaries.
Photographs.
Promises.
I don’t.
Love
has always
kept time
differently.
It slows
inside
a goodbye.
It disappears
inside
a kiss.
One minute
holding you
can outlive
an entire decade
spent
looking
for you.
Clocks
count seconds.
Hearts
count moments
that refuse
to end.
Maybe
that’s why
they never
agree.
Love
isn’t
forever.
Love
is timing.
The impossible
miracle
of two lives
finding
the same rhythm
before
the song
is over.
Some people
meet
too early.
Still learning
their own
melody.
Some
arrive
too late,
when silence
has already
filled
the room.
But sometimes…
without warning…
two broken songs
discover
they’ve been
written
in the same key
all along.
I don’t want
to stop
time.
I only want
to hear
the sound
your heartbeat
makes
when it forgets
to be afraid.
That’s the tempo
I’d choose
over
every symphony
ever written.
If tomorrow
steals
another day,
it can have
the hours.
The calendars.
The numbers.
Just leave us
the pauses
between words.
The quiet
after laughter.
The space
where your hand
finds mine
without asking.
That’s where
music
has always
hidden.
Love
doesn’t
defeat
time.
It teaches
time
how to dance.
One heartbeat.
One breath.
One sunrise.
One ordinary
moment
becoming
eternal
simply
because
you were there.
One day
the music
will fade.
Every note
does.
Every echo
returns
to silence.
But if
my heart
kept perfect time
with yours
for even
one beautiful
movement…
then
this was never
just a song.
It was
the rhythm
my soul
had been
trying
to remember
since
before
I was born.
