Can You Remember How to Love?

Tell me something honest Not what you rehearsed You sit beside me like a ghost Skin so near but feeling closed Eyes that look but never stay Words that slowly fade away We used to burn without a sound Now there’s nothing left to drown Every touch feels like a trace Of something we can’t replace When did silence grow so loud? When did we forget somehow? Can you remember how to love? Before the feeling disappeared Before the distance settled in Before we learned to hide the fear Can you remember how to love? When every breath was pulling close When every moment felt enough Tell me something I don’t know Fingers resting, never hold Warmth that somehow still feels cold Say my name like it’s a task Like a voice behind a mask All the words we never said Living somewhere in your head All the nights we let them fall Like they never mattered at all Is it something we can find? (yeah?) Or just something left behind? Can you remember how to love? Before the feeling disappeared Before the distance settled in Before we learned to hide the fear Can you remember how to love? When every breath was pulling close When every moment felt enough Tell me something I don’t know Maybe we were never broken Maybe we just stopped being open Maybe love is still beneath All the quiet in between Can you remember how to love? Even if it hurts to try Even if it wakes the past Even if it makes us cry Can you remember how to love? Or is it gone beyond repair? If you still feel anything Tell me it was always there Do you remember? How to love
