Verse 1 I was born in the hush between stars, Where the cold keeps score. Carried a map made of fractured light That never showed the shore. The void wrote scars on my early sky, Marked every place I’d fall. But even the dark has a trembling pulse That answers when you call. Pre‑Chorus Still I walked through the ache Like a comet through night. Still I held what I had In the absence of light. Chorus Hold me here, Hold me near, We are dust that remembers the flame. Hold me here, Hold me near, Love is the hand on the ache in the frame. Verse 2 I met my shadow on a drifting moon, Wearing echoes of me. It said, “No soul escapes its orbit,” I said, “Even stars break free.” I kissed your breath like a dying sun, You said my fear was true. Two bent worlds in a tidal pull, Still finding something new. Pre‑Chorus Still your voice found mine Like a wave finds shore. Still your touch cut through What the cosmos tore. Chorus Hold me here, Hold me near, We are dust that remembers the flame. Hold me here, Hold me near, Love is the hand on the ache in the frame. Bridge If life is a wound, let it open wide. If it’s a night, let it rise. I have been lost in the drifting dark, I have been found in your eyes. There is no map for the falling stars, No clean line through the void. Only your breath in the quiet space, Only your hand on the destroyed. Final Chorus Hold me here, Hold me near, We are dust that remembers the flame. Hold me here, Hold me near, Love is the hand on the ache in the frame.
