Found your name On the back of a napkin Coffee stain In the corner Still dampened Two stray hearts In a crowded Noisy room You laughed once And it cleared a little gloom I’m not one for speeches Or practiced declarations But my hands keep writing The same simple question Would you come closer if I asked you to? This is my quiet invitation No gold ink No reservation Just a space beside me Saved for you If you feel the same vibration Take my hand That’s your reply To this velvet invitation Tonight Empty chair At the edge of my table I pretend That it’s yours If you’re able Leave your doubts Folded neatly by the door Wear your name Like a promise I adore I don’t need the candles Or overly grand gestures Just your eyes meeting mine And one honest answer Would you come closer if I asked you to? This is my quiet invitation No gold ink No reservation Just a space beside me Saved for you If you feel the same vibration Take my hand That’s your reply To this velvet invitation Tonight You don’t have to hurry (no) You don’t have to speak Just lean into the silence Let your shoulder touch my sleeve Would you come closer if I asked you to? This is my quiet invitation No gold ink No reservation Just a space beside me Saved for you If you feel the same vibration Take my hand That’s your reply To this velvet invitation Tonight (tonight) To this velvet invitation Tonight
