I Was Ready to Love You
Verse 1
I covered you with quiet hope
in nights that never saw your face.
I spoke to you in softened tones,
though you would never speak to me.
You had no body, had no name –
but still, you had a home in me.
Refrain
An empty space upon my windowsill,
a light that never needed to be turned off.
Verse 2
I counted days for no clear reason,
brushed away thoughts like passing clouds.
I saw you once among the branches,
in every silent newborn dawn.
No life began – but love remained.
Like water that won’t fall –
yet glistens.
Refrain
An empty space upon my windowsill,
a light that never needed to be turned off.
Bridge
A name I never spoke aloud –
but always felt.
And in my heart –
no “should have”, no “might have” –
just a quiet,
„I was ready to love you.“
Refrain (last, altered)
An empty space upon my windowsill,
a light that still burns in the quiet of me.
Outro (spoken)
My child –
You never lived.
But you had meaning.
