You trace circles on my wrist
Slow motion
Bedroom window breathing mist
Soft ocean
Your half sentences drift
In fragments
Every word a tiny rift
I collapse in

Soft collapse
When you say my name
Almost nothing
Still it feels the same
Quiet crash
In your steady hands
Falling slowly
Like it’s all we planned
Soft collapse
Soft collapse again

You talk low about your past
Eyes distant
All these futures made of glass
So fragile
Your heartbeat in my back
Unrhythmic
Every silence pulling slack
Till I’m weightless

Soft collapse
When you say my name
Almost nothing
Still it feels the same
Quiet crash
In your steady hands
Falling slowly
Like it’s all we planned
Soft collapse
Soft collapse again

Say it once
Say it once (again)
Let it run
Let it run (my friend)
We were wrong
We belong
In this slow
Soft collapse we bend

Soft collapse
When you say my name
Almost nothing
Still it feels the same
Quiet crash
In your steady hands
Falling slowly
Like it’s all we planned
Soft collapse
Soft collapse again
