Quiet Memories

The sun is lower than it was Soft light on passing cars I walk the streets I know so well Thinking who I used to be Nothing pulls me back tonight Nothing asks me where to go Just the quiet in my chest As the sky turns soft and slow I remember how it felt Standing right where I began Not to change it, not to stay Just to know who I once was I'm not holding, I'm not chasing Any version of my name I just watch the day grow quiet As the colors slowly fade Shadows stretch along the ground Windows glow, the air is warm Every step feels light somehow Like I don't need more than now There's no answer in the sky No direction in the sound Just a moment passing by As the sun goes gently down I remember how it felt Standing right where I began Not to change it, not to stay Just to know who I once was I'm not holding, I'm not chasing Any version of my name I just watch the day grow quiet As the colors slowly fade Some memories don't ask for more They don't need to disappear They just sit beside the light As the night is getting near I remember how it felt And I let it stay that way Not a loss and not a sign Just a softly ending day
