(Soft piano, single chord ringing… crowd silent… a woman whispers “yeah…” somewhere in the back)
(Spoken – low, trembling, almost breaking)
“Some loves don’t leave…
They just learn how to hide in your chest…
And hurt you in silence…”
(Piano arpeggio begins, minor key, slow 6/8 feel. Bass enters like a heartbeat. Brushes on snare.)
“My Letter To You…”
⸻
VERSE 1
(Piano only, voice right on the mic, no reverb, every breath audible)
I ain’t know how to start it, so I’ll start with the truth…
I’ve been haunted by the echoes of all the things I couldn’t do…
(All the careless little moments…)
(the damage from my youth…)
(Got me living with the memories like a permanent bruise…)
(Sax answers the last line with a soft cry, just one note that bends and weeps)
Thought I had time, thought love would wait…
Played games with fate, now I’m staring at the weight…
Of inconsistency, apologies too late—
Tryna fix a broken past I helped create…
(Drums swell slightly, crowd murmurs “mmm…”)
⸻
PRE-CHORUS
(Backgrounds enter like a choir under water, “oohs”)
You were the one who saw the king inside a crownless man…
Believed in my horizon when I barely had a plan…
Your voice still in my spirit like a sacred command—
“If you know better, do better,” now I finally understand…
(Piano climbs, tension building)
⸻
CHORUS
(Full band opens, but still restrained, like holding back tears)
Is there a world where two hearts can meet again?
Where the pain turns to peace and the scars finally mend?
Is there hope in the distance, or a door at the end?
Or am I loving from afar what I can never touch again?
(Band drops out except piano and pad)
Tell me—
(Is there hope?)
(Are you smiling again?)
(Are you happy where we stand?)
(Crowd softly sings “Is there hope…” under you)
⸻
VERSE 2
(Sax and piano trade phrases between lines)
Soulmates ain’t a cycle, they don’t come in repeats…
It’s a once-in-a-lifetime, stars-align kind of feat…
And if I missed the moment when the universe would speak,
Then I’ll learn to hold this love in a silence I keep…
Not begging for the past, I’m just questioning the fate…
Of a story left unfinished that still echoes in my wake…
If this chapter’s closed forever, I’ll respect what’s at stake—
But if there’s even one heartbeat left, I’ll wait…
⸻
BRIDGE
(Music drops to just organ and voice, gospel-style)
All the trophies, all the titles, all the victories I chase,
Don’t mean nothing if I can’t see your smile on my face…
I’d trade it all away for one moment of grace—
Just to know love ain’t gone without a trace…
(Choir swells, “Trace… trace… trace…”)
⸻
FINAL CHORUS
(Everything explodes emotionally — full band, strings, choir, crowd singing)
Is there a world where two hearts can meet again?
Where the pain turns to peace and the scars finally mend?
Is there room for redemption? Is there light past the end?
Or am I loving from afar what I can never touch again?
(Band pulls back for the last questions)
Are You Smiling…are you happy…?
