Midnight at the Pier

Waves tap soft against the wood
Just like your voice when things were good
The moonlight draws a silver line
Where we once stood, where hearts aligned
I thought this place would set me free
But it just brings you back to me
It’s midnight at the pier again
And I’m still holding where we’ve been
The stars remember every vow
Even if we’ve moved on now
The ocean doesn’t ask me why
It just reflects you in the sky
It’s midnight
Midnight at the pier
There’s salt on air, and time feels slow
I see your shadow in the glow
I whisper things I couldn’t say
And let the tide just wash away
You left so quiet, like the tide
But you still echo deep inside
It’s midnight at the pier again
Where silence sounds like way back then
The waves recall your barefoot steps
Your laughter like a soft cassette
The past comes back without a trace
Just water, stars, and empty space
It’s midnight
Midnight at the pier
They say that love, like tide, will fade
But some nights it just wants to stay
And even when the sea is calm
My chest still aches where you belong
It’s midnight at the pier, still
Where memories rise against my will
I breathe you out, but breathe you in
This is where we’ve always been
It’s midnight
And you’re still here
At the pier
