You Are

You are the silence in my room
When the storm inside won't rest
The only name I never say
But always feel inside my chest
You're every line I couldn't write
Every wrong I tried to make right

I lost you somewhere in the noise
But I still hear your voice

You are the light behind my eyes
The calm in every sleepless night
The echo in an empty hall
The reason I survived at all
I don't know where or who you are
But you're stitched into every scar
Even now, though we're apart
You are the beating of my heart

You are the song that never ends
Playing low beneath the pain
The hand I reached for in the dark
When I forgot my name
You never asked me to explain
Just stayed beside me in the rain

I don't know how to let you go
When you're the only home I know

You are the warmth behind my breath
The voice that pulled me back from death
The truth beneath the things I hide
The stillness when I break inside
I never said the words back then
But you kept me whole again
So even if you're far, too far
You are still right where you are

If time could turn, I'd hold your face
And never let the hurt replace
The quiet love you gave to me
Without a cost, without a plea

You are the wish I never made
The one I'd never trade
The light, the voice, the start
You are the beating of my heart
