In the heart of the city, under the neon lights, our paths crossed, igniting endless nights

A flicker

A spark

A maybe

A might

Drawn to each other like a moth drawn to a flame

We were something unnamed, too tangled to mend

A story that looped but could never end

Half-healed promises stitched into skin,

You’d dissapear softly…then haunt me again

Seasons shifted; so did we—

You chased freedom, I chased clarity

Still, we danced in dim lit bars, talked like strangers, held old scars

Four years of almosts

Of lips never sure

Of open windows

And revolving doors

You loved me best when walking away,

I held the weight

I knew you’d never stay

But this little town can only hold so many ghosts,

Neon fades where the the silence grows

This time, no last calls.

No last goodbyes.

Just peace in the pause and no more tries

So…here we stand

Apart

Unspoken

A bond undone

But no longer broken
