Between the Quiet Lights

The evening glows in silver blue

Streetlights bloom like quiet stars

Soft reflections on the cars

Coffee steam and open skies

Gentle truth behind your eyes

Every second feels so wide

Like the turning of the tide

City breathing far below

But here we’re moving slow

Footsteps echo down the lane

Summer scent before the rain

All the words we never planned

Find their place inside your hand

Through the noise and passing time

Your heartbeat falls in line

Every shadow feels less cold

When our stories softly fold

Even if the night runs deep

There’s a promise we can keep

In the silence we can see

All we are and all we’ll be

Between the quiet lights

We’re glowing soft and slow

No need to say goodbye

To the things we used to know

If tomorrow calls our names

We won’t be afraid

Every step we take

Is gently, gently made

Between the quiet lights

Time begins to bend

Not a start or ending

Just where we begin again

Windows shimmer in the dark

Like a half-remembered spark

All the dreams we left behind

Are closer than we find

If the wind begins to rise

I will see it in your eyes

Every color, every hue

Turns to something true

Even when the seasons change

Love is never rearranged

It just learns a different view

Under skies of deeper blue

Between the quiet lights

We’re shining without fear

All the distant noise

Disappears when you are near

If the world keeps spinning fast

We will take it slow

Every breath we share

Is all we need to know

Between the quiet lights

Hearts don’t have to hide

In this velvet evening

We are side by side

Between the quiet lights

We stay
