Flicker

I trace the edges of the space that’s left behind
The empty corners hold me back again
It’s in the hollow where the memory feeds the pain
Held up between the flicker and the fade

Will you wait for me
I will wait for you

First kiss
New depth
New love
New mess
Pulled in
Then kept
One life
Timeless

One breath
Breathless
Your chest
Hand pressed
Lean in
Last catch
Now both
Weightless

Will you wait
I will wait for you
