Salisu

[Verse 1]
Salisu, your name keeps time in my chest,
A small, bright drum that won’t let me rest.
I say it softly; the whole room shifts,
One name, and the ordinary lifts.

[Chorus]
Salisu, Salisu, wherever you are,
You’re the name I carry, my north, my spark.
Salisu, Salisu, come close, come through—
Every road in my heart turns back to you.

[Verse 2]
Your laugh stays caught in the cracks of the day,
Like a tune I forget, then find on the way.
If miles put a wall where your hand should be,
Your name still knows how to get back to me.

[Bridge]
No grand old promise, no perfect line—
Just your name, and this heart keeping time.

[Outro]
Salisu, I say it, and the silence sings.
