In between

Somewhere between hello and goodbye...

There was love.

Real love.

And now... there's just silence

We never knew the moment

When forever slipped away.

You smiled like nothing changed,

But I felt it start to fade.

The days got quiet slowly,

Like a song with no refrain.

We held on out of habit—

Not out of love or pain.

I still remember the way

Your eyes lit up that first night.

Now I look for that same spark

In every stranger’s light.

Somewhere between hello and goodbye,

We found a love that made me fly.

But hearts don’t always know the way,

And even sunshine fades to gray.

You were mine in the in-between,

In the pauses, in the unseen.

And though we never said the end out loud,

We lost it—

Somewhere between hello and goodbye. [Violin Solo]

I kept the sweater you forgot,

Still smells like that July.

When everything felt certain,

And I didn’t question why.

Now every text I never send

Is just a whisper from the past.

I write you in my quiet dreams

And wake up far too fast.

Sometimes I swear I see you

In crowds I pass right through.

But when I blink, it’s never you—

Just ghosts of what we knew.

Somewhere between hello and goodbye,

We built a world we couldn't try.

A fragile flame we couldn’t save,

A story love forgot to brave.

You were mine in that fragile space,

In quiet looks and soft embrace.

Now I’m alone with tears I never cried,

Since we broke

Somewhere between hello and goodbye.

No slammed doors, no last kiss,

No closure in this mess.

Just a thousand silent questions

And a heart that loved you best.

Somewhere between hello and goodbye,

There was love… that didn’t survive.

Not because we didn’t care—

But because we weren’t quite there.

I still visit that middle place,

Where I last saw your fading face.

Not forever, not a lie—

Just lost…

Somewhere between hello and goodbye.

Somewhere...

Between hello…

And goodbye.

There was love.

And it was ours.
