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
