The silver road unwinds beneath my feet
Each step a note that falls before it lands
Your laughter ripples through the empty street
Like water slipping through open hands
I caught a glimpse of us inside the glass
Two silhouettes that merged and pulled apart
The current knows which way the moments pass
It carries every unfinished heart
A bell is ringing somewhere out of view
Its tone arrives in circles on the lake
I watched them spread and thought of how you drew
The kind of calm that only ripples make
The harbor lights are bleeding into blur
A thousand reflections none of them are true
I wonder if the tide remembers her
The way it pulls the darkness into blue
We spoke in signals only night could read
A folded map with destinations gone
The constellation shifted with the speed
Of something beautiful that rushes on
No anchor held the vessel we became
It floated through the clouds above the trees
I learned to love the motion not the name
And let the current carry me at ease
