I was…
I didn’t mean to vanish.
I just—
I needed to not be seen for a while.
Some lights…
burn quieter than others.
And sometimes,
even the brightest ones just want to rest.
No matter how close I moved,
they stayed just… out of touch.
I kept trying.
Until I started fading too.
I lose my way sometimes
Even down the path I know
What once felt warm and certain
Now fades in a silent glow
It always feels like me
I was never quite enough
If I had reached for more
Would I still feel you shine?
You asked me why I ran away
I couldn’t touch her
She’ll burn away
The more I want to be near,
It hurts too much so I had to fade away
I see your light sometimes
Even when I close my eyes
What I let slip through my fingers
Still lingers in quiet skies
I never said goodbye
‘Cause I was never truly gone
If I could turn again
Would I still find you shine?
You asked me why I ran away
I couldn’t touch her
She’ll burn away
The more I want to be near,
It hurts too much so I had to fade away
If you’ve ever turned away
Just to keep their light alive
Spinning in the same old sky
You were loving them just right
Some of us were made to glow
From a distance, soft and slow
Holding close by letting go
It’s a waltz we never show
