I fell in love

Your house was always loud with laughter

I’d sit on the kitchen floor

She’d talk about boys from school

While you leaned against the door

You were just a shadow figure

A voice that felt like home

I never thought I’d look at you

And feel it in my bones

It started with long conversations

About things she’d never know

You said I was “wise for my age”

I should’ve let that go

Now I’m lying in the dark

In a room down the hall

From the pictures on the staircase

Where I once felt small

I know it’s wrong

But it feels so right

You say my name

Like it’s not a crime

I wasn’t looking for a lover

but I was planning this

In somewhere between the silence

I desired to be his

I fell in love~

⸻

You say I deserve someone younger

Someone free, someone clean

But you look at me like I’m the only thing

You’ve ever really seen

I hate the way I memorize

The lines around your eyes

The way you whisper “this can’t last”

But never say goodbye

Every time I reach the doorway

I tell myself I’m done

But love doesn’t ask permission

It just comes and never goes

Now I’m lying in the dark

In a room down the hall

From the girl who calls me sister

If she knew, she’d let me fall

I know it’s wrong

But it feels so right

You hold me close

Like I’m your light

I wasn’t looking for forever

But I was planning this

But somewhere between our romance

And that stolen kiss

I fell in love

We can’t let her know

She might lose control

We can’t risk our love

But I want you more

I know you’re not mine

But I can be yours

Just let me stay here

Just you and me~

So I’m lying in the dark

With a secret on my chest

Loving you in silence

While pretending I know best

I know it’s wrong

But I can’t rewrite

The way you look at me

Like I saved your life

I wasn’t searching for a story

I never meant to fall

But somewhere between your eyes

And the writing on the wall

I fell in love…
