An old promise sitting in the corner of the room Laughter from the past turning into a quiet echo Two shadows playing tag with time Waiting for a certainty we never dared to speak Five long years keeping this secret tucked away Behind every joke and casual midnight call You walked through the door carrying a painted story Faked bruises and a scent that didn't belong to you Trying so hard to spark a fire in my chest To see if I would break or hold my ground I hit you with a silent, heavy stare While you acted distant, pretending we were done Your voice was steady, spinning a foolish victory Just a desperate dare to force my hand But underneath that careless curtain you pulled up I saw your fingers trembling in the light Why try to burn down a house we built with our hands? When you already know where your heart is bound to rest A childhood pact might sound like something small But my patience was never a game for you to play Put away the script and drop the performance You knew who held the key before you walked inside Now the noise fades into a heavy, quiet warmth The wall of doubts is crumbling down between us No more fortress left to defend, no more games to run As the truth washes over the floor like rain Saving what was sacred for the exact right hour Bound closer now than we ever were before No more bluffs... No more second guesses... The promise never broke... It was just waiting for us to bring it home.
