Sky Between Us

You’re just one room away, but it feels like miles
Talking in half-sentences and nervous smiles
We used to laugh just to breathe
Now silence is all that we leave
I watch the sky change outside
While you scroll, while we slide
Into strangers we didn’t plan
Like clouds that never land
There’s a sky between us, wide and blue
All these words I can’t get through
Once, your eyes would pull me near
Now they drift like weathered years
No storm, no fight, just subtle hush
A fading light we couldn’t touch
There’s a sky between us
Too wide for us
We used to dance in kitchen lights
Now we move in separate nights
I miss the way you’d read my mind
Now we barely meet our eyes
I reach across the couch and time
But you’ve already crossed the line
There’s a sky between us, cold and high
Words fall short, so we don’t try
I still sleep beneath your name
But nothing here still feels the same
No goodbye, no grand escape
Just space we never meant to make
There’s a sky between us
And it won’t rain
I wish we’d yell, I wish we’d cry
But even endings need a try
We’re not broken, we just drift
And silence is the final gift
There’s a sky between us, soft and grey
And love just slowly fades away
No one leaves, no one stays
We just forget how to stay
There’s a sky between us
And it won’t change
