It Stays With Me

On a car ride home, my mom was listening to some of my vaporwave tracks and asked if I could make more. So I made this one just for her. Just something to remind her she’s always been there… and that I carry that with me, no matter what.

I notice it in quiet ways Not in the noise I used to follow But in the pause between two thoughts Where something steady settles in You didn’t need to say it loud It lived in how you let things be Like late night talks in the kitchen light When it was only you and me I thought it came from somewhere else Just something time would let me keep ...but it runs deeper than I knew You were there in ways I couldn’t name In all the silence I would keep Now it moves inside the life I lead Through every choice I couldn’t see (It was always there... you were there...) It stays with me... It stays with me... ...st— stays... ...with... me... In the quiet... It stays with me... you— ...were... There’s meaning held in smaller things In how you stayed when I pulled away In every moment I dismissed That somehow lingered anyway I didn’t know I’d miss this someday Or how it settles into truth But looking back, it’s clear enough— So much of me was shaped by you One day... This won’t feel like now It’ll feel like something I return to Not to hold onto— Just to visit ...visit... ...return... You were there before I understood In ways I never thought you could Now it lives in everything I am In every place I come to be (It was always there... you were there...) It stays with me... It stays with me... You were—there... ...with me... You... ...were... There... Thank you...
