The Garden That Remembers Us Back

(from Richard's point of view) [Intro] Maybe we were here before. Maybe this place remembers us better than we remember ourselves. [Verse I] The ground feels known— but I’ve never walked it. The air holds memory. Not mine. Ours. Emma dreamed here once. Carole left color behind. Selene sang the first note that didn’t need sound. [Chorus I] If this is a garden, it grows what we forgot. No rulers. No end. Only fragments that still want to bloom. [Verse II] Solana watches light fall. Geoffrey listens, as if truth could still forgive. Augustus says nothing. The garden says less— but sees more. [Bridge] Jo walks with knowing steps. She kept the door open long before it was built. [Verse III] Geneviève hums. A song not taught— but returned. It’s not childhood. It’s remembering before birth. [Chorus II] This place doesn’t teach. It listens. It doesn’t guide. It receives. [Final Verse] Selene's hum stretches the sky. Emma and David walk as if regret could hold hands. And I— I see the child. [Final Line] I don’t know where we are. But something in me… does. [Instrumental]
