[Verse 1 – HIM ]
I held your picture more than your hand,
Spoke to the stars, but they don’t understand.
I missed your laugh in the middle of war,
Love ain’t a fair fight — I lost before.
I wrote you letters I never could send,
Too scared you'd forget me before the end.
Every “I love you” died in the rain,
But I’d whisper your name just to feel sane.
---
[Verse 2 – HER]
Gentle, broken, but strong beneath
I slept on one side, left room for you,
Learned to pretend, like the lonely do.
I wore your hoodie ‘til it lost your scent,
But your ghost stayed — it never went.
I sang to silence, prayed to the dark,
Begged for your arms instead of the scars.
You were the ache in each sunrise I met,
But I kept holding on — I’m not done yet.
---
[Chorus – BOTH (Separate Lines, Call & Echo)]
HIM: Did you feel me when the world went still?
HER: I felt your heart through the winter chill.
HIM: Every day I fought just to make it to then…
HER: I waited through storms, believing again…
BOTH (Together):
And I broke, and I bled, and I crawled through the pain...
But I’d do it all twice… just to hold you again.
---
[Bridge – BOTH (Soft Harmony)]
We lost time, but not our thread,
Our love lived even when we thought it was dead.
Through every goodbye, through every tear,
We loved in the silence, we loved through the fear.
---
[Final Verse – REUNION – BOTH TOGETHER]
Now I see you… And I can't breathe,
You're the end of the war, the air I need.
No more miles, no more goodbyes,
Just trembling hands and tear-filled eyes.
We’re not broken — we just bent,
And every second apart… was time well spent.
‘Cause now you’re here, and nothing’s the same…
I lost you once… but I found you .
