Ine’s theme song
I still remember the light in that hotel bar
Fifteen years ago, like a flicker in the dark
The moment our eyes met, something shifted in me
My world rearranged, quietly
You were the answer to a question I never asked
The missing piece I didn’t know I lacked
Standing there, time froze in place
And forever took on your face
Every morning felt like a gift unwrapped
With you beside me, nothing ever lacked
Your love, your fire, the way you moved through days
It was more than human, more than grace
I’m sorry not to have given you the best possible 3 final weeks,
I should have stepped up.
Twelve years folded into one long breath
We had the strength to stare down death
We moved mountains with nothing but our hands
We were more than lovers, we were land
And then the words no one survives
A sentence cutting through our lives
“Your time is short, there’s no way through”
An incurable truth
But you were the one who held us tight
You carried the weight, you shielded the night
You wore your curse for both of us
With a smile, with trust
I’m sorry not to have given you the best possible 3 final weeks,
I should have stepped up.
You stayed where the mountains knew your name
Your home, your routine, your quiet flame
Your kittens curled like guards at your feet
A fragile, sacred, everyday beat
I should’ve taken you beyond those walls
Let you feel the world one last time call
I should’ve crossed oceans, knocked every door
Brought your people close, asked for more
I should’ve been louder, stronger, brave
I failed you when you needed me to save
Maybe I’ll wake up
And it’s not over
Maybe time will bend
And I’ll do it all different then
I’m sorry not to have given you the best possible 3 final weeks,
I should have stepped up.
Wait for me, love, I’m not far behind
I’ll find you somewhere beyond this line
Thank you for making me whole again
For shaping the man I became
Thank you for your warmth, your fearless heart
For loving me right from the start
You completed me, that’s the truth I keep
Until I come and take my place beside you,
Let me sleep
