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
