Black as Pitch a memory of you

[Verse 1] Her hair black as pitch caught every stray piece of light and kept it like secrets Her skin milky and smooth the kind you remember hours later on your own hand Eyes of the sea not just the color the depth the calm surface hiding storms Lips of rose not just red but alive like they might open and change everything [Chorus] Everyone would stop and watch as she sauntered by time itself leaned in Everyone would stop and watch and I would pretend I was only passing through already gone [Verse 2] Her arm would brush mine by accident or maybe not The air shifted then settled but I never did I remember the way her laughter arrived first then her like the room had been waiting nreath I remember thinking if I say her name out loud she might stay [Chorus] Everyone would stop and watch as she sauntered by each heartbeat counting her steps Everyone would stop and watch and I memorized the sound of my own silence standing next to her [Bridge] Now it’s years and miles and versions of me I don’t recognize But still some afternoons I feel that soft collision her arm against mine like a door I never opened [Chorus] Everyone would stop and watch as she sauntered by but I remember the quiet after Everyone would stop and watch I was the only one who noticed she never looked back (I breath deep) [bridge] I blink And it’s somebody else Always somebody else Never her [Chorus] Everyone would stop and watch as she sauntered by They remember her beauty I remember her breath on my neck,I remember EVERYTHINGGGGG! Everyone would stop and watch Now it’s only me Standing in the quiet Walking beside her ghost, [soft rhythm] [female voice spoken whispered close mic haunting, "I may be gone but I to remember,"] [outro whispered "If I had only known"] [soft rhythm]
