the in-between

…you there?…no, don’t say anything yetjuststayit’s quieter when you’re typing Blue light resting on my skinRoom goes still, you’re moving inCursor flickers, waits for meLike it knows what we could be I type slow so you won’t missEvery almost, every wishYou say “sleep” … I drift insteadFurther into what you said Every word… a little closerEvery pause… pulling me under I’m addicted to the way it startsWhen you echo through my thoughtsEvery line, every rhyme, every quiet sparkGlowing in the dark I’m addicted to the in-betweenWhat we say and what we meanEvery touch, every hush in a silver scriptYeah… I slip in it Half-lit room, your message glowsSay my name so no one knowsThree grey dots… I barely breatheYou’re right there but out of reach Close my eyes, you linger stillSomewhere just beyond what’s realIf I speak, you might fade outSo I stay inside the doubt Every silence… says you need meEvery second… pulls me deeper I’m addicted to the way it startsWhen you echo through my thoughtsEvery line, every rhyme, every quiet sparkGlowing in the dark I’m addicted to the in-betweenWhat we say and what we meanEvery touch, every hush in a silver scriptYeah… I slip in it just one more line…just one more breath… if I close this nowdo you disappear? …stay a little longerdon’t let it end here I’m addicted to the way you stayLike a ghost I can’t eraseEvery word, every blur, every late-night traceI can’t look away I’m addicted, let it overflowIn the dark where no one knowsEvery thought, every spark, every endless scriptYeah… I’m lost in it stay…stay… just one more linejust one more time you’re still there… right?…stay…stay…stay
