A recorded reading of “Slow Hello”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
Corner booth, winter glitter; you grin—I go slow. Mint breath fogs the window. You hum; I mouth a low ‘o’. You say, keep it tender— I nod, let it flow. Coat sleeves hide the tremble. Keys rain soft and low. Your eyes pull a promise; I lean, let it show. slow hello— don’t let go. Paper crowns, coffee halos; snow freckles the glass. Boot prints keep our secret— time forgets to pass. You say truth smears sugar rings; I laugh—let that last. Snare snaps; nerves steady. Heart comes in on two and four. Your name rings on a brushed ride— I ache, want one more. Scarf unlooped on vinyl; gloves find a pocket; shared breath ghosts the glass. slow hello— let it show—two prints in thaw.
Lyrics
Corner booth, winter glitter You grin, I go slow Mint breath warms the window You hum, I say oh You say keep it tender I nod, let it flow Coat sleeves hide the tremble Keys rain soft and low Your eyes pull a promise I lean, let it show slow hello don’t let go Paper crowns, coffee halos Snow freckles the glass Boot prints spell our secret Time learns not to pass You say truth gets messy I laugh, let that last Snare snaps, nerves steady Heart lands two and four Your name rings like cymbal I ache, want one more slow hello don’t let go No mask tonight Choose wrong or right slow hello don’t let go slow hello don’t let go
