I stand at the edge, heart in my hand,
Knowing that loving you wasn’t the plan.
You’re a flame that burns bright in the dark,
But I fear I can’t keep this fragile spark.

Your laughter, your eyes, your voice so sweet,
Moments with you feel like worlds complete.
But deep in the quiet, where truth softly lies,
I know this love will someday die.

I wish I could stay in this fleeting embrace,
Hold onto the joy, the warmth of your face.
But how do I love when I know the end,
When time is a thief, not a friend?

I’m scared to give all of my soul,
To fall in a love that won’t make me whole.
Yet here I stand, trembling inside—
Afraid to let go, afraid to confide.

So I love you in whispers, in moments, in light,
Knowing you’re not my forever, just my "for tonight."
And though it will fade, this feeling will live,
For even in fear, love’s the best gift I can give.
