I stay here
Before the shift
Before the day
Rewrites this
There’s a second where everything
Feels undecided
And I like the way it holds
Quietly guided
I don’t hurry
I don’t move
I let the moment
Choose
I don’t hurry
I don’t chase
I stay in the almost
Of this place
I used to fear the turning point
The moment things become
Now I trust the gentle edge
Before it runs
Your name sits at the back of my mind
Not loud, not sharp
More like a soft direction
In the dark
If I leave later, that’s fine
If I stay longer, that’s fine
I don’t need to decide
Right now
I let the room keep breathing
I let the world come in
I let the day begin
I don’t hurry
I let it change
In its own way
