The night left to me (AsinA-78 AiRMX)

[Verse 1] I asked the night about you, it stayed silent, stared in my face, Some who leave won’t return — just a trace, it said, then took its place. I stayed right there, time just flowed past me, out of space, The fire inside me never died, it burned with steady grace. They say a name can fade away, but this one won’t erase, The heart may fall silent, yet it beats, deep in its hiding place. I didn’t live after you — I lived missing your embrace, In every new face I searched for you, a touch of sorrow’s trace. As years just passed me by, I got stuck in one sweet sound, I never spoke your name aloud, but you grew with every bound. Though outward I appear renewed, inside I’m still a riddle, One lifetime’s not enough sometimes for half a single syllable. [Chorus] Ece… it sinks into me every night, Just one letter of your name lights up my life’s long flight. Ece… each syllable holds your name so tight, I’ve grown not you, but the absence, deep inside, so bright. Ece… our roads have parted, bit by bit, You’ve reached another sky, I’m left here in this night. Ece… I fell silent when they said it’d pass, But I knew it wouldn’t die — it just changes, at last. [Verse 2] I saw a house burning far away, warmth seemed to fill its space, Life knocking on its window — it suited you, I could trace. Two little smiles, as if they’d open morning’s gentle grace, Even seeing that, I prayed for you, in secret, in that place. ‘Cause loving isn’t always holding, it’s watching from afar, Spending a whole life loving, wishing you’re who you are. I gathered what was mine from nights, beneath the distant star, For you to be complete, I stayed a half, a broken scar. A flower sometimes speaks, the sender stays unseen, unknown, A heart sometimes loves, untouched, unheard, all on its own. I hid my name, buried my feelings deep, all alone, So no shadow falls upon the peace that’s yours, my own. [Chorus] Ece… it sinks into me every night, Just one letter of your name lights up my life’s long flight. Ece… each syllable holds your name so tight, I’ve grown not you, but the absence, deep inside, so bright. Ece… our roads have parted, bit by bit, You’ve reached another sky, I’m left here in this night. Ece… I fell silent when they said it’d pass, But I knew it wouldn’t die — it just changes, at last. [Bridge] Now there’s a silence, deep in meaning, more than I can say, As if the sky’s missing something, as if a heart needs its way. I still can’t want a miracle stolen from you, I must stay, But fate comes late sometimes, sometimes watches, far away. I could neither wish for you nor let you go, it’s true, I left love not after you, but in you, that’s what I knew. So whoever came was just a guest, passing through my view, None were you; ‘cause inside me, you were always there, it’s true. [Outro] They say the night must end, but mine’s not over, Ece, Some names won’t close, even if they stay in one syllable, see. You reached your own bright morning, I woke up in yesterday, Years passed above me, but I thought you were still inside, I’d say. Ece, my last night’s near, it’s almost here, I feel, What’s growing in me — a bit of wound, a bit of longing, real. I didn’t recall you, but the part of me that stayed in you, When I heard I’d die, I understood I was truly living, too…
