Pressed
Preserved Echoes: Unveiling the Delicate Symphony of Love
Lyrics
Bring me home
Expressing a desire to return home.
Pick me and press me
Asking to be chosen and handled carefully.
In the big dictionary you keep on the shelf
Referencing a significant dictionary where memories or experiences are stored.
I belong
Feeling a sense of belonging.
Nestled and swaddled
Being securely wrapped and protected.
In words to preserve me for years
Being described in words for preservation over time.
And when winter arrives, I'll still be here
Expressing permanence even in the cold, harsh times.
And when spring comes around, I'll still be here
Highlighting resilience through changing seasons.
Pressed in the shape that you found me most beautiful
Being preserved in a way that emphasizes personal beauty.
Paper thin and petals like laces, I
Comparing oneself to delicate paper and lace-like petals.
Wait until it's time to unveil me
Awaiting a moment of revelation or unveiling.
Maybe now I'll be delicate
Expressing a desire for delicacy, possibly in character.
At least for a season or two
Anticipating a temporary phase of fragility or sensitivity.
I am yours
Declaring a sense of ownership or dedication to someone.
Frame me and hang me
Suggesting to be framed and displayed as a cherished possession.
Or use me to find your last place in your book
Offering utility, such as marking a place in a book.
I am strong
Asserting strength, even if it's just in the form of a lingering scent.
Or at least my perfume was
Acknowledging the potential for fragility despite apparent strength.
And touch me or don't, I'll still break
Embracing vulnerability, acknowledging that one can still break.
And when summer arrives, I'll still be here
Emphasizing enduring presence even in the warmth of summer.
And when autumn comes blowing I'll be here
Committing to being there when autumn, a season of change, arrives.
Pressed and beloved or forgotten, that's all up to you
Leaving the decision of being remembered or forgotten to the observer.
Paper thin and veins on display, I
Describing oneself as thin and revealing inner characteristics.
Wait until I'm transparent and ready
Waiting for a moment of transparency and readiness to be known.
Maybe now I'll be knowable
Expressing a willingness to become knowable or understood.
I can learn not to ache for your hands
Indicating a capacity to overcome longing for someone's touch.
