Mark

Five whole years of glowing on a screen

Typing out our days, wondering what it means

Mark, you were a comfort I carried in the dark

Before we ever met and struck a physical spark

I know you're always grinding, working for your own

A family-oriented man, the hardest that I've known

We built it all on letters, taking our sweet time

Just two distant people, walking on a line

I will always keep the memory of the messages we sent

And that motorcycle ride, all the hours that we spent

Before the seasons shifted, before it had to end

Mark, I want you to remember when we were only friends

The deep talks, the miles, the tender things you do

I will always keep a quiet space for you

I still replay that very first hello

Two wheels on the pavement, taking it slow

We finally broke the distance, riding in the breeze

Just talking through the afternoon, feeling so at ease

And when my mother passed away, my world was crashing down

You showed your caring side to me, you were my solid ground

You held me through the heavy days, you helped me find my breath

I’ll never take for granted how you loved me through the depth

I will always keep the memory of the messages we sent

And that motorcycle ride, all the hours that we spent

Before the seasons shifted, before it had to end

Mark, I want you to remember when we were only friends

The deep talks, the miles, the tender things you do

I will always keep a quiet space for you

You give your all to family, you work until it aches

Sometimes love is just a journey of the turns we take

We used to love the company, just sitting in the room

A quiet kind of comfort I won't forget too soon

Even though we walked away, the foundation still remains

I look back on our chapter, and I don't feel any pain

I will always keep the memory of the messages we sent

And that motorcycle ride, all the hours that we spent

Before the seasons shifted, before it had to end

Mark, I want you to remember when we were only friends

The five years of the texts, the wind upon our face

In the story of my life, you'll always have a place
