i learned your laugh before i learned your silence
the way it spills like sunlight through half-open blinds
careless, warm, never meant just for me
i stand where your shadows don’t quite reach
holding pieces of you i was never given
like borrowed light i have no right to keep
you speak of love like it’s a place
and i nod like i haven’t memorized the map to you
like i don’t get lost there every night
your hands brush mine like it’s nothing
and i pretend it is
even when my heart stumbles over the smallest touch
there are words i swallow whole
they sit heavy, unspoken, between my ribs
growing louder in the quiet you leave behind
i would choose you in every lifetime
even the ones where you never turn around
even the ones where i am only a passing name
so i stay here
loving you softly, secretly
like a song that was never meant to be heard

as i see you choose her
my heart burns at the sight
because when you're with her
your eyes sparkle like the light
but who am i to intervene
how stupid could i have been
to believe that i had a chance
did we count as a romance
should you be with someone
someone as beautiful as the sun
another love story has begun
to her you're commited
i'm left there
yearning for a love that never existed
