You peeled an orange with your thumb
The skin curled off in one long strand
You left it on the windowsill
A little sun, a little land
Orange peel, a spiral curl
A quiet afternoon unfurls
The room is warm, the light is slow
I watch the shadows come and go
The radio played something soft
You turned it down and let it cough
I didn't mind, I liked the hum
The space between the notes was fun
Orange peel, a spiral curl
A quiet afternoon unfurls
The room is warm, the light is slow
I watch the shadows come and go
The day went soft around the edge
We didn't move, we didn't pledge
Just let the hours fold and fall
And didn't need to name it all
Orange peel, the light is clear
Every small thing holds me here
Nothing loud and nothing planned
Just the sun and your hand
