Sunlight spills on your tea
You laugh once, and it’s spring to me
Notebook open, page turned slow
Your name hidden in my flow
Sidewalk chalk, a lemon smile
You just walk, I stay a while
Buttons loose on your white shirt
Tiny things that make me hurt
Not in pain, but in that way
Where small glances beg to stay
I don’t need a movie scene
Just the space where you have been
In my head, a gentle sound
Like your breath when you look down
Lemon note, in my day
Little things you never say
Flick your hair and sip your tea
And it’s all a song to me
Lemon note, on repeat
Every step you take is sweet
You don’t know the part you play
But you color all my grey
I fold memories like cranes
Write your laugh in sugar rain
You don’t see the way I turn
Every word you drop, I learn
You don't speak in fancy prose
Still I bloom like pastel rose
On your map, I’m just a blur
But to me, you're all I were
Love can hide in quiet tone
In a walk you take alone
And I keep the echoes near
Like your voice behind my ear
Lemon note, in my day
Little things you never say
Flick your hair and sip your tea
And it’s all a song to me
Lemon note, on repeat
Every step you take is sweet
Even silence in your phone
Feels like music when I’m alone
So I write, and you don’t know
In soft ink that doesn’t show
This is love — the kind that floats
In between the lemon notes
