I'd like to know you better, but I won't push at that door. It opens in its own time, quiet, like before. There's a stillness in this moment, when the world just lets us be. And time keeps gently moving through the space that sets us free. I'd been searching every corner, trying hard to find a sign. Till I learned that hidden answers live in places we can't define. In the here and now (here), I know you as you are (now). No forcing, no rushing, not trying to get too far. In the here and now (here), we meet where rivers blend (now). No promises, no pressure, both a beginning and an end. Thought I knew somebody once, but he was just a shape of light. A shadow of my longing, not the truth I hoped was right. We walked together for a while, till the currents made us part. No blame, just flowing water, finding its own path through the heart. Time drifts without the hurry, and my wandering settles slow. There's a quiet kind of open, only letting go can know. In the here and now (here), I know you as you are (now). No forcing, no rushing, not trying to get too far. In the here and now (here), we meet where rivers blend (now). No promises, no pressure, both a beginning and an end. Promises are only wind, they fade into the blue. But this moment's real and breathing, and I'm standing here with you. No future can we offer, no history we can claim. Just a simple, honest presence, your name and my name. In the here and now (here), we rise without a plan (now). No pushing, no pretending, just the truth of greater than. In the here and now (here), no need to take a vow (now). No forcing, not fearful, just meeting in the here and now.
