The walls in my room have seen everything The silence, the laughter, the way I collapse when you are gone This room was only drywall and shadows before you Now it feels holy Like the air carries your name We never needed the world Not lights Not crowds Not some perfect story Just the flicker of a screen Just the weight of you on the other side of the bed Movies and shows and the sound of your breath Were enough to undo me completely I loved you before I could even say the words I loved you in the way my chest felt too small I loved you in the way the night didn’t matter anymore As long as you were in it with me You were my everything, my fire, my stillness The one thing that makes me feel safe when nothing else does If the world burns, if the ground opens Let it all go As long as I can keep this room with you in it I don’t care about forever I care about now, and now is you Now is everything And I will tear my voice raw if that’s the only way to make you understand
