E 61 The Silent Divergence

[Verse 1] February 14th, the red letters on the calendar You are still so far away, and the coffee grows cold Since when did we become this quiet? Since some point, you are no longer in the eyes I look into [Pre-Chorus 1] No arguments, no resentments Like clock hands, we rotate in our own orbits A vast distance hidden beneath familiar kindness Now it’s time to tell each other [Chorus 1] Goodbye, my clumsy dependence The one who filled a page of my youth I’ll quietly release the string that pulled us together May you find peace in your world [Verse 2] I know your heavy shoulders, the path you must walk We were too weak before the waves of reality I don't blame you, for I was exhausted too Just walking silently, bearing our own burdens [Chorus 2] Goodbye, my clumsy dependence The one who filled a page of my youth I’ll quietly release the string that pulled us together May you find peace in your world [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break - Dramatic electric guitar solo, soaring strings, switching from bitter-sweet to high-energy empowering dark pop] [Bridge] This night left alone is no longer cold I see myself, who used to wish to be someone’s shelter The finger that took off the ring is finally free Only now do I finally feel the ground beneath my feet [Verse 3] The tears flow and stop, the fog clears away Walking out of the long maze called dependence The gaze reflected in the mirror is unwavering I am ready to meet the storm that comes tomorrow [Final Chorus] Holding the helm of my life, I head into my own sea [Spoken Word / Monologue] “I once believed that asking for no understanding was the highest realm of love. But only after turning around did I realize. That was just two souls blindly waiting on their own isolated islands, without even attempting to understand each other. Tolerance without intersection, in the end, is not love.” [Outro] `Goodbye, my long waiting` `Goodbye, my person` `Now I, become myself.` [Fade out with a single, clear piano note]
