Reflections on the wall,
I see my life flash before my eyes:
A string of meaningless moments
Pass by until, until I see you.
Reliving the memory
In slow motion, your hand in mine,
I was a fool to ever let you go.
Standing here in silence,
My hand longing for yours,
Only then do I know
I was a fool to give up on you.
Reflections on the wall,
I dream of you in color,
I dream of you without anxiety,
Without my weakness.
Looking back on it all,
I feel a pang of regret:
I miss you, and I can only
Glimpse your face between life and death.
Between life and death,
The whole world passes me by,
I feel at peace,
I never want to leave.
Happiness and certainty
Linger here, but when I open my eyes
Reflections on the wall
Show nothing but fear and uncertainty.
Reflections on the walls,
Seeing your hand in mine
Is my fondest memory.
Losing you between these thoughts
Was never easy, but
I learned to go on
Without you by my side.
Living in a cycle of vanity,
I was wrong, so wrong,
To ever let you go.
Turn my darkness to light,
These reflections don't do you justice.
Side by side, your hand in mine,
You are my sweet addiction.
Calling your name
In this space between life and death,
Wanting you back
With every breath I take.
With every breath I take,
Calling your name
Beyond these reflections,
The bridge between both worlds.
