(Verse 1) She stepped in, boots damp from the rain, The door clicked shut, soft and slow. Her coat hung heavy on the chair, Steam rose from the cups in a glow. She sat without asking, close but still, Her hand brushed mine, then stayed. I looked at the window, avoided her eyes, But felt every breath she made. (Verse 2) She stirred her coffee, slow and clean, The spoon tapped once, then stilled. Her eyes held mine for half a beat, Then dropped to the cup she filled. I asked how she’d been, voice too low, She said, “I sleep, but not too well.” The silence between us grew warm, And the air began to swell. (Chorus) Heat in chest, the rest won’t fade, Words held back, the crack they made. Eyes that burn, then turn away, Time moves slow, then won’t obey. Breath too close, the ghost still near, Hands don’t touch, but brush the fear. Love held tight, the fight goes on, Love still lives in ribs and heart. (Verse 3) She laughed at nothing, soft and low, Her fingers traced the rim. I watched the sugar melt and fade, The light outside grew dim. She leaned in close, her shoulder bare, I felt the warmth, then froze. She didn’t move, and neither did I, But the moment nearly rose. (Bridge) No one spoke of what we knew, It hung between the chairs. She is the fire I cannot touch, But I feel her everywhere. I don’t reach, But I don’t retreat. She stays, And I remain incomplete. (Final Chorus) Heat in chest, the rest won’t fade, Words held back, the crack they made. Eyes that burn, then turn away, Time moves slow, then won’t obey. Breath too close, the ghost still near, Hands don’t touch, but brush the fear. Love held tight, the fight goes on, Love still lives in ribs and heart. (Outro) She stood, her hand on the door, The light caught the edge of her hair. She didn’t say goodbye, But I felt it in the air.
