Ephemeral Smile

[Verse 1]
3 AM's pale indigo, screen light on my face
My thumb, a slow weaver, through time and empty space
Frayed edges of memory, a silent, heavy drone
Searching for a pattern, in these hours alone.

[Chorus]
Then your laugh, a vibrant bloom, I forgot I knew
A sudden burst, pulling me back to you.

[Verse 2]
An old video flickers, caught in a digital seam
Your face, a warm echo from a half-forgotten dream.
The serpentine lines on my palm, trying to hold that sound
A tapestry unraveling, on this hallowed ground.

[Chorus]
Oh, your laugh, a vibrant bloom, I forgot I knew
A sudden burst, pulling me back to you.

[Bridge]
This ache, a deep cochineal stain, where resilience once sat
My hands reach out, tracing the digital dye of what we had.
An ancestral whisper tells me some threads never fray
Even when the light shifts, and the colors drift away.

[Outro]
Just that laugh, caught in the screen's soft glow.
