Notes:

Work Text:

/I am here/
As I cradle your violin
With the weight of your stare
As you gaze inside my soul
I felt naked, bare

/You are here/
Drenched from the rain
As I watched the droplets disappear
A part of me wishes I can keep you near
A quiet assurance, I'd take it instead of none

/You are here/
As I trudged up the stairs
You'll never learn of my burden
And even if you leave
I'll continue to have them

I had you.
("Sherlock.")
A life I have chosen to leave behind
You had me.
("John.")
A life I have not chosen and left behind

/We are here/
In each other's arms
With the sound of reality
Crashing down on us
But just for a minute, even for a second
("Can we— just—")
Let us be, what has been us
