Paws in the Past, Steps to Tomorrow

🌙 [Verse 1] (soft kicks, mellow piano) I still hear ya paws on the hardwood floor, 🐾 Late nights curled by my bedroom door. 🚪 You was quiet, but you spoke in your own kinda way, Eyes full of wisdom, never needed to say— Just sat there, watchin’, like you knew my mind, Through every storm, through every grind. ☁️ Gaia, you were more than a pet, A spirit in fur, ain't easy to forget. 🌅 [Chorus] (lo-fi vocal sample, warm bassline) Ooooh, time moves on but love don’t fade, 🎶 Echoes of purrs in the dreams I made. New steps walk where the old ones laid, But the heart remembers, never erased. ☀️ [Verse 2] (soft sax echoes, fingers snapping) Now there's a new set of paws in the place, Different eyes, different stripes on her face. 🐈 She don't know the stories, don't know the past, But she climbs where you climbed, moves just as fast. She got that same kinda hunger for the world, Chasin' the light as her tail unfurls. ✨ And maybe she came when the time was right, A fresh sunrise after a long, long night. 🌆 [Bridge] (filtered drums, dreamy keys) I still keep your collar, still hum your name, Still see your shadow in the window frame. 🖼️ But love don’t die, it just shifts its form, Like moonlight bending in a quiet storm. 🌙 🎵 [Chorus] (warm vocal layering, vinyl static) Ooooh, time moves on but love don’t fade, Echoes of purrs in the dreams I made. New steps walk where the old ones laid, But the heart remembers, never erased. 🔥 [Outro] (instrumental fades, crackles remain) So here’s to the past, and here’s to now, To the paws in the past and the steps we allow. Gaia, you ain't gone—you just changed your view, And maybe, just maybe, you sent someone new. 🌿🐾
