Du warst der Mensch

(Atmospheric piano, soft and slow)

I didn't have to say a word, you were always in my gaze

You pulled me back from every dark tunnel

No judgment from you, no "I told you so"

You were my anchor when the storm gnawed at me

We collected scars, spread over the years

By your side, every wound healed.

When the world out there was too loud for me

You were the constant, so bright and so clear

You knew my quirks and laughed them away

In your world, every mistake had its purpose.

You were that person who knew me better than I knew myself

The one who picked up the pieces when my house of cards fell

No "maybe," no "we'll see," you were simply there

In a world full of noise, you were so close to me

True trust never needed a promise

You never let me break back then.

We talked through nights and shared silences

We climbed through deep valleys and over peaks

You knew what I was thinking even before I spoke

You were the hand that held me when my courage crumbled

It wasn't just time that connected us

It was that knowledge, you holding my hand.

(Building intensity, emotional drums)

Now it's silent where your voice once was

But when I close my eyes, you're still there

No goodbye in the world can erase this bond

I carry our trust through a foreign land.

You were that person who knew me better than I knew myself.

The one who picked up the pieces when my house of cards fell.

No "maybe," no "we'll see," you were simply there.

In a world full of noise, you were so close to me.

(Piano fading out, emotional)

Thank you for everything.

I miss you.

My person... forever.
