No, I’m not in love with you.
I say it like a prayer I don’t believe
But God, the gentle things you do
The careful way your shadow leans into me
And I reach for a place so far away
Like I’m trying to outrun your gravity.
You remind me of all the safe things,
The kind I swore I’d never need
Like a hand to hold in the dark
Like the quiet between your breath and me
Like watching the same sunset
Over and over, like it might explain us.
Oh, you remind me of all the warm things,
The fragile and the worn things
Like the sweater that you wore in the rain
When you pulled me closer just to feel me shake
Like the dangerous comfort
Of wanting you more than I say.
You remind me of the reasons to take a chance,
Like a kiss I’ll regret in advance
Like the face I’ll never forget
Even when I forget who I am
But oh, my dear, you remind me to glance
And when I do, I linger longer than I should.
‘Cause your smile, it’s impeccable
Like it dares me to believe in the beautiful
And it feels like I’ll never take my eyes off you
Like if I blink, I’ll lose you
Like if I stay, I’ll lose me too
I swear I’m trying to be careful now
Trying not to feel so loud
But your name is in my bloodstream
And your ghost is in my mouth
I keep saying I’m not in love
Like love can’t hear the sound
You remind me of all the soft things,
That break you just the same
Like the moment before you fall asleep
When you almost say my name
And I pretend I don’t hear it
But it ruins me anyway.
No, I’m not in love with you
But God, it feels exactly like I do
