I used to count the cracks in the ceiling,

Now I count the seconds you're not here.

You came in quiet, without a reason,

And made the silence feel sincere.

I don't need words to understand,

You hold my chaos in your hands.

And I don't ask for promises,

Just stay a little longer — that's enough..

Tell me something fragile,

Something only you and I could keep.

A whisper in the static,

A secret that we'll bury deep.

I don't need forever —

Just tonight, just your skin on mine.

Tell me something fragile,

And I'll pretend we'll be fine.
