Never mine

[Verse 1 – Person A] I see you in the quiet space Where dreams and daylight never trace A love that blooms, then fades away Like stars that vanish with the day [Verse 2 – Person B] You reach for me in shadowed light A wish too fragile for the night I hold my breath, I count the cost Each heartbeat sings of what we've lost [Chorus – Both] We were a moment the world wouldn’t allow A flame too fierce, it’s extinguished now Two hearts aligned, but never in time Almost was ours — but never mine [Verse 3 – Person A] I walk the edge of what could be But fate has drawn a line through me Your voice still echoes in my skin A song that ends where it begins [Verse 4 – Person B] I watch you go with aching grace Like trying to hold a falling place No fight to win, no bridge to cross Just silent proof of love and loss [Chorus – Both] We were a whisper too loud for the rain A perfect note in a song of pain Two hearts aligned, but never in time Almost was ours — but never mine [Bridge – Both, trading lines or in harmony] A: Maybe in another life, we’d stay B: Maybe then, we’d find our way A: But now we love with doors half-closed B: And dream of things we’ll never hold [Final Chorus – Both, softly and with resolve] We were a story the stars never wrote A ship that sailed but couldn’t float Two hearts aligned, but never in time Almost was ours — and that’s the crime
