Verse 1
You woke to an ache the morning couldn’t name,
reaching for warmth that time already claimed.
And the quiet sat down beside you—
like a shadow wearing my shape.
But love does not unravel
just because the heart breaks.
I only slipped into a softness
your eyes weren’t built to see…
I stepped beyond the edges,
but the edges still touch me.
Chorus
I’m closer than I’ve ever been—
in the hush between your heartbeats,
in the sigh you don’t remember,
in the tears you hide from sleep.
I live inside the whisper
that rises when you’re trembling…
I’m closer than I’ve ever been,
closer than your breathing.
Verse 2
You speak to me in midnight tones,
your voice a trembling candle flame—
thinking you’re confessing to the dark,
but the dark still knows my name.
I feel your every longing
find its way across the veil,
like music from another room
that the silence cannot quell.
I move beside your footsteps
though you think you walk alone…
A love like ours does not depart—
it simply changes home.
Chorus
I’m closer than I’ve ever been—
in the warmth that fills your chest
when grief forgets its sorrows,
in the dreams where you find rest.
I’m in the sudden calm that finds you
when the world feels too unkind…
I’m closer than I’ve ever been,
woven through your mind.
Bridge
Don’t hold your breath for yesterday,
don’t chain your heart to what has been.
I rise with every step you take—
your loss is not my end.
You carry me like starlight—
not heavy, but divine…
and when you shine through your healing,
that’s the moment I shine.
Final Chorus
I’m closer than I’ve ever been—
in the dawn that breaks your shadows,
in the courage you don’t notice
growing softly in your bones.
I didn’t leave; I just expanded
past the borders of the known…
I’m closer than I’ve ever been,
and you are not alone.
Outro
So breathe, my love… and let the morning in.
I’m everywhere you’ve been—
and everywhere
you’re going.
