Soft breeze on a summer night
Lanterns flicker, fading light
Your shadow brushed against my skin
But I stayed quiet, scared to begin
We walked so close, but said so little
Time passed slow like a lazy riddle
You laughed at something in the air
And I just smiled, pretending I didn’t care
All the words I didn’t say
Dancing on the tip of yesterday
You never asked, I never told
Now the silence feels so cold
Unspoken feelings, floating in the heat
Like fireflies we couldn't keep
All the things we almost were
Wrapped in quiet, soft and blurred
You were near, and I was too
To say “I think I’m into you”
But seasons shift, and moments fade
And I just let you slip away
Fingerpicked thoughts in minor tones
Still echo through my headphones
Jazz chords painting dusk with blue
Every note, a piece of you
You looked back once, maybe twice
And in that glance, I lived a life
But dreams aren’t meant to last too long
They disappear once morning comes
I held the words behind my lips
Now they're ghosts in every riff
You never asked, I never tried
So here we are, the night passed by
Unspoken feelings, floating in the heat
Like fireflies we couldn't keep
All the things we almost were
Wrapped in quiet, soft and blurred
You were near, and I was too
To say “I think I’m into you”
But seasons shift, and moments fade
And I just let you slip away
Maybe in another time
I'd say the words, you’d call them mine
But for now, the beat moves on
And you’re a half-remembered song
