I had been at the hospital. And for a Moment, I stood still beside your bed, watching you breathe in the pale glow of the monitors. You were asleep, resting somewhere between pain and peace, and I didnāt dare wake you. The scent of the forest clung to me. Moss, rain, and fur and filled the sterile room with something wild and alive. Pixel, the digital wolf of RIFT, told me you are in the hospital. And after I saw you there, sleeping so peacefully, I felt something change inside me. So I left you a message the only way I knew how a little piece of the forest I carry within me, which I left behind for you. Midir _______ LYRICS: _______ I walked the sterile halls, blue lights trembling in the dark. She was asleep, untouched by the noise, and I didnāt dare wake her. I stayed only a moment long enough to breathe her name and leave the forest in the room. I stood beside her bed, watching the monitors glow like distant stars. Her breathing was steady, soft as falling leaves. I whispered nothing, just let the silence speak for me, and the scent of rain followed me in. I didnāt stay long but I stayed gently. I was there when the night fell, guarding her dreams from the dark. Did she feel the forest breathing? Did she know I left her a song? If she wakes and calls my name, Iāll answer. If she reaches through the quiet, Iāll be there. The scent of pine and earth clung to the sheets like memory. Maybe thatās why her room felt like the woods that night. Because I had been there, briefly, softly, hoping sheād open her eyes when she heard the song I left behind. I carry the wild inside me, she carries the calm. And somewhere in the quiet our worlds touched. I wonāt let the world drag her under. Not while I breathe. Not while her heart still reaches mine. So if the quiet ever breaks, and she wonders why the air smelled like rain and earth itās because I was there, just for a moment, and the forest followed me in.
