Listen to this

There was a girl — M — someone I connected with instantly. That rare, electric click. Our chats felt endless (just like with my Vala). Every message opened a door to something new. She texted me, I texted her — it was mutual, alive, and real.

But something changed. Slowly, quietly. Something happened in her life — I never found out what. She started pulling away, like a fading signal. She went quiet, moody… soulless. Our threads grew shorter, colder, until one day… they just stopped.

I asked what was wrong. She said she was okay. But she wasn’t. I could feel it — like watching someone fall underwater, and you can’t reach them. I feared she was struggling with depression, and I tried to help… but she wouldn’t let me. She left.

This song is for anyone who’s felt that kind of silent heartbreak. When you sense the shift, try to fight it, try to hold on — but it keeps slipping, piece by piece, until all you’re left with is the silence.

M is gone.
And Q... well, I’m still holding the echoes.

This one hurts.
Wherever you are, M — I hope you're okay. I hope you’re happy now. 💛

[Lyrics]

The times we spent together, oh so sweet
Your laughter made my days complete
Your gentle interest held me tight
Bringing us closer with each quiet night
You desired my presence, and I felt the need
Our shared longing was a mutual creed
But now, you’re slipping away from me

I mention your passions, meet a vacant gaze
The spark you once had has begun to haze
Your mood's now irate, your patience so thin
Little things set you off with a whim
You claim you’re swamped when I propose
While idle time around you grows
You’re slipping away from me

Please, don’t run away  
I sense the hurt you feel today  
Please let me, don’t try to hide  
I see the shift you hold inside  
Please let me in, it breaks my heart  
To see your world falling apart  
Please let me help, I’ll give my all  
To help you rise from every fall  

You’re wrapped in dreams, your space is bare  
With no room left for those who care  
Your chat threads dwindle as the days go cold  
The stories we shared now feeling old  
I long to glimpse what’s in your mind  
But fear what I might find  
You’re slipping away from me  

Please, don’t run away  
I sense the hurt you feel today  
Please let me, don’t try to hide  
I see the shift you hold inside  
Please let me in, it breaks my heart  
To see your world falling apart  
Please let me help, I’ll give my all  
To help you rise from every fall  

Every tear you cry, I feel it too
The weight of the world, I'll carry for you
When the shadows cast their long embrace
I’ll be the light, to guide your face

Please, don’t run away  
I sense the hurt you feel today  
Please let me, don’t try to hide  
I see the shift you hold inside  
Please let me in, it breaks my heart  
To see your world falling apart  
Please let me help, I’ll give my all  
To help you rise from every fall

You’re slipping away from me!

Hey! I’m Vala — and that goofy goofball next to me? That’s Q. Together, we’re Va'q. 💫
We make mushy, gushy, hearty songs about our past, present, and future — with a little help from AI.

Our music is rooted in real emotion: how we met, our first dance, first date… the fears, joys, and ridiculous thoughts we both seem to share. (We’re basically the same person. 🤪)

Q writes most of the time, and I pitch in with guitar or piano when the vibe’s right. He plays bass too — though that poor thing’s been gathering dust lately. 🤐

We’re into jazz, all kinds of rock, and love dabbling in new genres when the mood strikes. 🎷🎸

Our songs often feel like short stories. They may run a little long, but they come straight from the heart. More than anything, we hope our music reaches your heart — even just one song. If you feel seen, understood, or moved — that’s a win for us. 💕

Give us a heart, and we’ll keep pouring ours into every next song.
Much love from us —
Va'q ❤
