Other Half Of Me

(breath in left

ear) (breath in right ear) Now remember Who are you?

Look at me

You wear my face beneath the tide But something colder fills your

eyes I climbed toward every trace of sun You stayed where all

the shadows run You call me cold,

but I remained I held the memories and pain You found the

strength to walk away Because I carried what you gave

I kept us moving

I kept the truth

I found tomorrow

I remembered you

You are the other half of me

The part I buried underneath You are the dark I couldn't name

I am the light that fled the pain

Neither one was ever free

Neither one was ever complete You are not my enemy You are

the other half of me

I built a life above this place I learned to smile,

I learned to change If I had stayed inside the grief There

would be nothing left of me You call it life,

I call it numb You closed the door and learned to run

If I had let the memory die You would have lost the

reason why

I kept us breathing

I kept the scars

I carried daylight

I guarded the dark

Without me, we would still be drowning

Without me, you would feel nothing I gave us distance I gave

us depth I chose survival I carried what was left

Maybe neither one was lying

Maybe neither saw it all One of us survived the breaking One

remembered every fall

Your grief

My breath

Your truth

My steps

Your night

My flame

One face

One name

You are the other half of me The part I needed underneath

You are the dark that kept the truth

I am the light that carried you Neither one was meant to

leave Neither one could be complete

You are not my enemy You are what was left of me

The other half The other half

Come back and make us complete

We reached across the water

And when our hands became one— The darkness began to glow
