Something Unexpected

I was tracing quiet lines

Through a day that wouldn’t bend

Light fell thin across the room

Like it almost meant to end

Then a shift I couldn’t name

Not a sound but still it moved

Air became a different weight

Like a thought I hadn’t proved

I was folded into time

Counting minutes, letting go

Every pattern felt complete

Every ending set in stone

Then your voice without a word

Turned the axis, pulled me through

Rien n’était prévu ici

Et pourtant, je t’ai trouvé

Not a spark, not a flame

More a quiet rearranging

Of the space inside a breath

Something unexpected

In the way the silence breaks

Not a force, but a presence

In the choices that it makes

You’re not where I was looking

But you’re where I want to stay

Comme une lumière discrète

Qui ne demande jamais

There’s a grace in the unseen

In the margins we ignore

Every careful symmetry

Leaves an unimagined door

Et sans bruit, tu es entré

Comme un souffle dans le noir

Not a question, not a claim

Still it answers who we are

I won’t call it fate or chance

Those are words that close it down

This is something less defined

Still it turns the world around

Pas un rêve, pas un jeu

Mais un fil que je ressens

Pulling gently through the dark

Vers un lieu plus évident

No design, no intent

Still it finds us in the open

Where we never thought to stand

Something unexpected

In the way the silence breaks

Not a force, but a presence

In the choices that it makes

You’re not where I was looking

But you’re where I want to stay

Comme une lumière discrète

Qui ne demande jamais

If I move, will it follow?

If I stay, does it remain?

Is it held in the moment?

Or dissolved if we explain?

Alors on laisse faire

Sans vouloir définir

Ce qui vient sans prévenir

Peut aussi nous construire

Something unexpected

Not a question to resolve

But a shift in how we’re breathing

In the spaces we dissolve

You’re not what I imagined

Still you feel like something true

Comme un accord fragile

Qui devient absolu
