NOT THE CHASE [Female — breath-soft] I used to call the trembling destiny Mistake uncertainty for chemistry A vanished word, an inconsistent flame Made longing rise and wear devotion’s name But love is not the ache of wondering Or nervous systems caught in vanishing Confusion can make absence feel profound Yet what is sacred does not spin me round [Male — deep and intimate] I will not keep her heart inside a maze Then call her searching proof that love was made I will not disappear to make her yearn Or leave her in the dark so she returns If I desire her, she will see me choose No calculated distance to confuse My silence will be restful, never armed My presence will be steady, open, warm [Both] We are not the chase We are the choosing Not fear of loss or intermittent soothing No borrowed urgency, no prize to win Just truth meeting truth, skin meeting skin We are not the chase We are the knowing A sacred current constant in its flowing No anxious hunger dressed as fate above Our bodies recognize consistent love [Female] Unpredictable can feel like fire Each shifting answer intensifies desire The mind keeps reaching for the missing piece Confusing resolution with release But I can feel the difference in my bones Between divine attraction and unknowns One asks me to abandon inner peace The other lets my body soften and breathe I do not compete for anyone’s eyes Or prove my worth against imagined lives What honors me will never make me fight To earn the warmth already mine by right [Male] I will not manufacture scarcity To turn my presence into currency Her jealousy is not a crown I wear Her fear of losing me is not my prayer I want her free enough to tell me no And safe enough to let her longing show Her boundaries do not threaten who I am They reveal whether I can be a man I do not push against her sacred gate To feed my ego or negotiate Her sovereign choice is holy in my hands Love does not conquer—love understands [Both — rising] We are not the chase We are the choosing Not fear of loss or intermittent soothing No borrowed urgency, no prize to win Just truth meeting truth, skin meeting skin We are not the chase We are the knowing A sacred current constant in its flowing No anxious hunger dressed as fate above Our bodies recognize consistent love [Female — sensual] My attention is precious, not a reward I offer it where presence is restored I need not act unmoved or unimpressed Discernment speaks through my embodied yes I am not difficult to make you strive I am a living world, awake, alive Come with the truth—no theater required Mutual devotion is what feeds desire [Male] I bring no rival into sacred space No phantom competition, hidden race I do not make another doubt her place Then drink the desperation from her face I want the fire without the injury The primal pull without captivity I want her passion sovereign and clear Drawn by my presence—not controlled by fear [Bridge — alternating whispers] [Female] Do I miss you—or the answer you withheld? [Male] Do I love you—or the victory I felt? [Female] Is this expansion—or familiar pain? [Male] Am I pursuing love—or feeding my own name? [Both] Let every false enchantment be undone Until the body recognizes ONE Not as obsession burning through the night But peaceful recognition filled with light [Female] I do not chase what has not chosen me [Male] I do not test the heart that comes in peace [Female] I will not call anxiety divine [Male] I place my actions firmly next to mine [Both] No silence used to punish or control No fragments offered to possess the whole Space can be sacred when its meaning’s clear And loving communication keeps us near [Both — cosmic temple choir] We bless the shadow by revealing its design How absence bends perception inside time How fear of loss can imitate desire And uncertainty can make a spark feel higher Yet consciousness transforms the ancient spell The body learns what safety has to tell Attraction deepens where two truths are shown Where neither must abandon what they know I AM whole—I do not beg for proof YOU ARE whole—you do not hide the truth WE ARE the meeting of desire and peace WE CREATE a love that need not chase to breathe No strategic distance No selective grace No ego demanding it must win the race No hot-and-cold rhythm mistaken for flame No wound wearing destiny’s beautiful name [Male] I choose you clearly in the waking world [Female] I meet your choosing fully unfurled [Both] Our sacred union flowers from freedom, consistency, truth Emotionally open Physically known Tenderly present And wholly our own [Outro — entwined whispers] [Female] No puzzle to solve [Male] No prize to claim [Female] No fear required [Male] To awaken the flame [Both] Not addicted to absence Not seduced by delay We are deeply attracted And we choose every day Not the chase… The choosing Not the fantasy… The showing Not uncertainty… The knowing Love is here Love is clear Love is growing.
