and when you look into his eyes, does it finally click? that he lives life for the first time too, we're all under the same moon. each perspective twists and burns; but you are not earmarked and they're not scars of your own making
but you choose how to carry them, and now there's radio silence an echo of a sigh
and one day, this sigh will echo back we've come a full circle and it has a different meaning
because you saw her broken back and heard their side of the story you saw his mother's grave or where it'd be if she had one and you finally got right that one young man's favourite song you watched him dance, alone with shimmering lights, and an air full of smoke while his friends didn't know the song that played in his heart
and finally, you understand because one day, someone genuinely heard you and borrowed your eyes for a while and he'll give them back but a piece of them stays a quiet red string, that whispers your name
and from now on in the thread of life, you'll be intertwined you could have changed each other's life and never know of it or ever talk again
just because someone listened and saw you for who you are just because someone listened and stayed by your side
