Flickering Shadows

The light grows faint, the room turns cold, We hold what's left of what we know. The warmth we had now slips away, In twilight rooms we lose the day. Your outline moves across the glass, My hand lifts up, then lets it pass. And in the corner of my eye, Your shadow moves a beat behind. Flickering shadows on the wall, Pieces of us rise and fall. For a moment you're still here, Then the light shifts, you disappear. Flickering shadows come and go, Holding things I used to know. Some nights the room remembers you, In little things I thought were through. I let them come, I let them fade, Not every memory needs to stay. I don't need to turn away, I can watch the moment fade. Flickering shadows on the wall, Pieces of us rise and fall. For a moment you're still here, Then the light shifts, you disappear. We weren't wrong because it ended. We weren't whole because we stayed. What we had can still be true Without asking me to stay. Flickering shadows on the wall, I don't have to hold them all. You can move across my mind Without keeping me behind. Flickering shadows come and go, Some things fade but leave a glow. What we had can still be true, I just don't come back to you. Flickering shadows... Come and go. Flickering shadows...
