Between the Drops — Liva

Back in my room, nothing moves
Same old walls, same old view
But something's different in the air
Like I brought another world back here

Small glass cup on the table now
Metal filter dripping slow
One drop falls, then nothing else
And I forget about myself

Thirty-four days, I didn't know
I was learning how to slow
Now the quiet feels so wide
Like there's something in between the time

In between the drops, I see it clear
There's a whole world living here
Where nothing rushes, nothing calls
Time just softens when it falls

In between the drops, I breathe again
Not ahead, not back then
Every second opens wide
If I just stay here inside

City noise still in my veins
Scooters, lights, the heat, the rain
But now it echoes differently
Like it left a space in me

Every drip becomes a sound
Every pause pulls deeper down
There's a rhythm I can't explain
Not in loss, not in gain

Didn't know what I would find
In the spaces left behind
Now the silence feels alive
Like I've stepped outside of time

In between the drops, I see it clear
There's a whole world living here
Where nothing rushes, nothing calls
Time just softens when it falls

In between the drops, I breathe again
Not ahead, not back then
Every second opens wide
If I just stay here inside

What is this, I can't define
Feels like losing track of time
But I'm not lost, I'm just here
In a moment that feels real

In between the drops, I understand
I don't need a bigger plan
There's a beauty I had missed
In the pause that still exists

In between the drops, I stay
Let it pass, don't pull away
All this life I couldn't see
Was just waiting here for me
