I stare at the glow In the palm of my hand The world pulls me in But doesn’t understand The room is full But I feel alone You’re right here Quieter than stone Only you Know the thirst I hide Only you Stand still inside I reach for you But miss the door Still—I want Nothing more I chase small fires On a tiny screen Forget the warmth Of the unseen You wait like breath Before it’s named A presence soft But never tamed I ache for more Than words and sound To feel you deep And lose this ground Thank you For not letting go Even when I move too slow ───── [Lyrics © Mario Caoile]
