It’s been a while... but not too late.

Back then it was every second week,
Coffee cups, long talks, no need to speak.
You knew my silence, I knew your laugh,
The kind of bond time never halves.

Then came the job, the move, the miles,
Different skies, different dials.
We said we’d stay close, we really tried —
But distance wins when the days just fly.

Still got a light on, still got a key,
Still got your name in my melody.
Even through the pause and space in between,
You were always here in every dream.
Now you’re back — not just in mind —
Still got a light on, anytime.

You showed up last week at that old café,
And just like that, the years slipped away.
Same old rhythm, same inside jokes,
Same way your eyes still speak in strokes.

I didn’t know how much I missed
Those aimless walks, that silly list.
Now that you’re near, I finally see —
It wasn’t just time, it was a part of me.

Still got a light on, still got a key,
Still got your name in my melody.
Even through the pause and space in between,
You were always here in every dream.
Now you’re back — not just in mind —
Still got a light on, anytime.

Still got a light on, still got a chair,
Still got that spot, it’s always there.
Even when we wandered, even when apart,
You carried my voice, I carried your heart.
Now we’re back — right on time —
Still got a light on…
Still got the rhyme.

Come over soon...
The kettle’s on.
You know the way...
Still got a light on.
Still got a light on.
