Every answer
Arrives a little sideways
Never enough
To settle the question
Half in plain sight
Half under the tongue
The rest
Changes temperature
No quiet entrance
No graceful ending
Just a sentence
Learning new balance
The nicest lies
Never raise their voice
They wear good manners
They take their time
Every detour
Knows the timing
Lilt Lilt Little Love
Lilt Lilt Little Love
Lilt Love
A pause lands
Exactly where it should
The kind
Nobody rehearses
Every almost
Leaves a fingerprint
Then disappears
Before it dries
Some words
Age beautifully
Others
Borrow the light
The sweetest lines
Never ask for trust
They smile first
Then change the subject
Every answer
Opens another door
Lilt Lilt Little Love
Lilt Lilt Little Love
“Strange”
The best stories
Never sound important
While they're happening
“They leave”
One impossible sentence
Then spend years
Pretending they didn't
The nicest lies
Never raise their voice
They wear good manners
They take their time
Every detour
Ends up singing
Lilt Lilt Little Love
Lilt Lilt Little Love
Lilt Love
