Unfinished Manuscript

I have wondered so many times 
Wondered where my lover lies
Scared to give and not receiving it back 
Scared of hearing the list of what I lack

I’d love to love you and let you love me
But i’d have to know if you agree 
I’d love to hold you and let you hold me
Feel the warmth, increase the degree

As the bear departs when winter arrives
Don’t have to list all the whys
Gotta let you go otherwise 
And I might fall from the skies

Tearing the page of my unfinished manuscript
Letting you go before knowing what we could have been
Incomplete like our sentences I had to decrypt

I’d love to love you and let you love me
But i’d have to know if you agree 
I’d love to tease you and let you tease me
Make you laugh, I guarantee

I’d love to hear your voice call out my name
But every time it feels the same
Like we’re dancing in the dark, out of sync
One step forward and then we sink

So I pull away, let the silence grow
Afraid of what we’ll never know
A story paused, a line unsaid
A fleeting dream we never fed

I’d love to love you and let you love me
But I’m too lost in what we’ll never be
I’d love to reach you and let you see me
But we’re fading slow like some old memory

As the night falls and shadows blend
I wonder if we’ll ever mend
But maybe it’s too late to try
Maybe we’re meant to say goodbye

Tearing the page from my unfinished manuscript
Leaving words that we’ll never script
Incomplete, like the thoughts I kept

I’d love to love you and let you love me
But the space between us is all I see
I’d love to stay but it’s time to leave
Left with nothing, nothing to retrieve

And so the song ends without a refrain
A love we lost in the quiet rain
Just echoes now, fading away
An unfinished tune that won’t replay

Melancholic Lo-fi with Nostalgic Synths and Gentle Rain Sounds
