Ice in My Hands

You used to linger in my room 
Like summer light in late June
Now your quieter than before
Like you’re halfway out the door

And I don’t know just when it changed
You feel close, but far away
Like I’m holding onto you
But you’re slipping through

You don’t say it, but I feel it
In the way your fingers move
Getting colder every minute 
And I don’t know what to do

Your melting like an ice cube in my hands 
Dripping through the spaces where we stand
I try to you, but I can’t 
Your gone before I understand

Stay a little, don’t disappear
You were solid just last year
Now your fading out of view
Like there’s nothing I can do

We don’t talk the way we did 
Now it’s short words, quiet lips
And I replay the better days
While you slowly drift away
There’s a distance in your eyes 
Like you’ve said your last goodbye
But your still standing next to me
That’s the hardest thing to see

I keep reaching, you keep leaving
Even when you’re right here 
It’s a slow and silent feeling 
Watching you disappear

You’re melting just like an ice cube in my hands
Turning into something I can’t grasp
I try to hold you, but I can’t
You’re gone before I understand

If I held you any tighter 
Would you stay or would you break? 
Am I losing you to silence 
Or just giving you away?

Now your water on the floor
And I don’t know you anymore…
