Everything Else Could Wait

There was light on the floor

Dust slow in the morning air

A rhythm in your breath

And everything else could wait

Ideas drifted in and out

Like half-formed weather

But your voice held more than words

And everything else could wait

Some days moved quickly

Others didn't move at all

But your world moved at a different pace

And everything else could wait

Not every story gets written

Not every thought becomes sound

But you were louder than any of it

And everything else could wait

There was a song I didn't write

A quiet I chose instead

A moment I never captured

But it never really left

You won't remember, but I do

You won't remember, but I do

The dream I let drift

The path left behind

A shadow that stayed

At the edge of my mind

And everything else could wait

And everything else could wait

And everything else could wait

And everything else could wait

And everything else could wait

And everything else could wait
