Late again

Streetlights blinking out of time

Same road, same thoughts in my mind

Phone lights up, I turn it down

I know myself too well right now

Hands in my pockets, then out again

Don’t know why I do it when

Every step feels almost home

But not enough to call your name

We don’t need to make it clear

Every word would break the air

If I look at you too long

I might say the wrong thing

We don’t say it

We don’t say it

Let it stay right where it is

We don’t say it

We don’t name it

Some things breathe better like this

Night keeps moving, so do I

Your shadow just beside mine

We talk around what we feel

Like silence knows the deal

Every time I almost ask

I hear my heartbeat pulling back

If I cross that fragile line

We lose this moment every time

We don’t need a reason why

Some feelings work when left unnamed

If I say it out too loud

It won’t feel the same

We don’t say it

We don’t say it

Let it stay right where it is

We don’t say it

We don’t name it

Some things breathe better like this

Maybe tomorrow

Maybe never

Maybe that’s the point

I don’t need forever

Just this walk

Just this noise

We don’t say it

We don’t rush it

We just let the night decide

We don’t say it

We don’t touch it

Some truths live better undefined

Almost home
