vik_esteves(Verse 1)
You didn’t have those gentle eyes
But something raw, and hard to hide
Your gaze was fire I couldn’t read
No smile, but still you planted seed
(Verse 2)
Out on the porch, the night stood still
Your hand reached out against your will
Toward mine—it paused, and didn’t stay
Your body silent, held its sway
(Pre-Chorus)
My mother moved, I stayed the same
Afraid to turn, to speak your name
A burn within, my chest took flight
Like we were wrong, but almost right
(Chorus)
And when I looked at you,
I wanted to be yours
Wanted you to pull me
Through those quiet doors
Your eyes were dark,
Your nose a little bent
But when you stared at me
It felt like something meant
(Verse 3)
You held me once, and I gave in
My shape found yours beneath the skin
No words were said, no plans were made
But somehow, still, I wasn’t afraid
(Bridge)
I didn’t need to know your ways
Or trace the roads of yesterdays
You felt like something I had known
Like finding home in the unknown
(Final Chorus)
And when you looked at me
I wanted to be yours
Wanted you to want me
Without closing doors
Your flaws were real,
But nothing ever truer
You gave me all the words
Without a whisper to her
