Late summer breeze through open blinds Freshly cut grass and porch light left behind The world grew quiet as the moon rose high Just your breath and mine, aligned No need for words between our hearts Your fingers traced stories on my arms The night didn't speak, but held us tight Like we were all that mattered tonight No promises made, no grand demands Just fingers drawing maps on hands I didn't need to hear your thoughts I felt the velvet in the dark The softest silence we've ever known More honest than words we've ever shown No spotlight needed, no rehearsed parts Just pure velvet in the dark You moved like moonlight across my skin Your silence told me everything within I learned your heart without a sound Never have I slept so profound You didn't say you loved me then But your hands confessed again and again The language of touch spoke so clear Worth more than words I'd ever hear No promises made, no grand demands Just fingers drawing maps on hands I didn't need to hear your thoughts I felt the velvet in the dark The softest silence we've ever known More honest than words we've ever shown No spotlight needed, no rehearsed parts Just pure velvet in the dark I've known louder loves and brighter days Been in rooms where everyone knows my name But none as true as that gentle space Where we let time slow its pace In the loudest moments when life screams by I still crave that hush, that lullaby Of two souls meeting without disguise Under nothing but starlit skies No promises made, no grand demands Just fingers drawing maps on hands I didn't need to hear your thoughts I felt the velvet in the dark Even now when nights fall hard When distance keeps us worlds apart I close my eyes to find my heart Still wrapped in velvet in the dark Still wrapped in velvet in the dark
