(Breathing)
Funny how
Someone can leave the room
And still feel closer
Than anyone else

Your memory arrives before sleep
Like it knows where to find me
The shape of your smile
The sound of your voice

The way you looked at me
Like you almost understood
I close my eyes
And the world gets quieter

The lights disappear
The distance disappears
For a moment
My mind creates

What reality never gave me
I don't need you here
To feel the impact
Some touches
Don't happen twice
They stay

I know the difference
Between holding someone
And holding onto a feeling
But sometimes
The feeling is enough
To make the body believe

After the touch
I still feel you
After the night
I still need you
Your shadow moves
Across my skin
Like a song
I can't stop playing again
After the touch
When I'm alone
I hear your name
Inside my own
Maybe it's not love
Maybe it's desire
But I can't deny
The way you set me on fire

Nobody sees
The conversations I have
With your memory
Nobody knows

How a single moment
Can become a whole fantasy
I remember details
I never told you

The little things
You would never notice
The way you moved
The way you laughed

The way you existed
So effortlessly
And maybe that's the dangerous part
Not wanting you beside me
But wanting the feeling
You created inside me

Some people leave marks
Without leaving scars
Some people touch your life
Without touching your heart

After the touch
I still feel you
After the night
I still need you
Not because you're mine
Not because you stayed
But because my body
Remembers what my mind can't erase
After the touch
After you're gone
I find pieces of you
When I'm alone
Maybe it's temporary
Maybe it's just desire
But for a moment
I was everything
I wanted to be

No promises
No explanations
No pretending
Just me
And the memory
Of what I felt
Deep sub bass
Breathing textures
Soft vocal layers
Still here
Still feeling
Still

After the touch
I learned something
Pleasure doesn't always need
Someone beside me
Sometimes the heart imagines
What the hands remember
Sometimes a moment
Lives forever
Even when nobody else
Was there

You left
The room stayed empty
But somehow
I didn't
