Where We Used To Be (Mojo)

[Mojo] There are places in this city only we would know Corners of the Kingdom where our story used to grow Young and sovereign — both of us becoming Something real together — neither of us running From what we were building — brick by sovereign brick Six years of memories — some that used to stick Like morning light through windows — warm and true The Lyrical Authority — still thinking about you Not from weakness — from honest human grace Some loves leave fingerprints you can't erase A piece of you lives everywhere I walk In the quiet of the morning — in the way I talk About the things that matter — about what's real Where we used to be — that's all I feel If I could find that version of us again Before the games — before the breaking — before the end I'd hold it longer — show up cleaner — love it right The sovereign man I'm becoming — wasn't built overnight Let the waves of memory wash over me Carrying me back to where we used to be I remember everything about us young and free Before the complexity became what you'd see When you looked at me — before the patterns formed Before the tornado replaced the summer storm Of something gentle — something worth protecting Something both of us kept somehow neglecting In our different ways — I own my part completely The man I'm growing into loves more cleanly Than the man you knew — than the man I was Where we used to be — was beautiful because We were both becoming — both still raw Two sovereign souls — learning what love was I'm looking up at the same sky you see Wondering if you're out there thinking about me Not demanding — not reaching — just honest and real This is what six years of genuine love feels Like when it quiets down — when the noise fades away Just the truth of what we were — what I carry today The Lyrical Authority — standing whole — standing clear Carrying the memory of us with sovereign care Not letting it define me — just letting it be Part of the complex beautiful man that is me Where we used to be — I honor it And walk forward — sovereign — from it Where we used to be... Still beautiful... Still real... Still honored... The Lyrical Authority... Walking forward... Indeed
