I remember what you wore
Not the reason why you swore
All those talks I let slip by
Now they echo through the sky
Your hand hovered near the door
I just watched, but said no more
Moments passed I can’t replace
Froze too long in that one place
One thing hangs between our lines
Like a bell that never chimes
Hung in silence, soft and tight
Waiting still to come to light
Question I forgot to ask
Now unspoken in the past
Even if it has no sound
It still circles all around
Like a ghost with quiet weight
Carried through each twist of fate
Even if the world moved on
That one question isn’t gone
Did you know I meant to stay?
Did I say it the wrong way?
You just smiled and looked ahead
And I held what should be said
Letters drafted, never sent
All the meanings I still meant
In the hush before goodbye
Lingered all I left to try
If I could rewind that day
There’s so much I meant to say
But that pause became a wall
And I never climbed at all
Question I forgot to ask
Now unspoken in the past
Even if it has no sound
It still circles all around
Whispers in the morning steam
Interrupts my half-formed dreams
Even when I try to rest
It still echoes in my chest
If there’s time beyond this place
I’ll ask with a soft embrace
Not in words but in a glance
Given one more final chance
Let the silence finally speak
Let the meaning cross the peak
Question I forgot to ask
Now unspoken in the past
Even if it has no sound
It still circles all around
Still it lingers in the breeze
Written in the fallen leaves
Even if you’ll never know
That one question won’t let go
I remember what you wore
Not the reason why you swore
All those talks I let slip by
Now they echo through the sky
Your hand hovered near the door
I just watched, but said no more
Moments passed I can’t replace
Froze too long in that one place
One thing hangs between our lines
Like a bell that never chimes
Hung in silence, soft and tight
Waiting still to come to light
Question I forgot to ask
