I Didn’t Mean To

I didn’t mean to think of you tonight It just… happened Like the way the dark Finds the corners of a room I was fine I was steady I was almost moving on But your name Still lives somewhere Underneath my tongue There’s a chair across the table That I don’t look at anymore And I don’t say your name out loud Like I did before But sometimes when I’m tired And my guard begins to fall I feel you in the quiet Like you never left at all In the heart of what I feel There’s a place I never show It’s small And it’s breaking And it won’t let go If I’m honest with myself If I let the silence heal You’re still there You’re still here In the heart of what I feel Maybe love is not dramatic Maybe it’s just this A hand that isn’t holding mine But somehow still exists I don’t need a grand goodbye Or a reason I can steal I just sit here with my guitar And the heart of what I feel In the heart of what I feel There’s a light I can’t undo It’s quiet It’s aching And it leads to you I didn’t mean to think of you tonight… But I did.
