Verse 1
Bored turned into curiosity,
An app came back like a past-life friend
Used it once just for fun, no destiny
Till the screen glitched and it said “this is different”
A hive full of faces, buzzing nights
A few swipes in, then there you were
And I said—
“Roses are red, violets are blue,
Your sparkling eyes led me straight to you”
Midnight questions, laughing replies
Letting the current decide where we’d go
No labels yet, just open hands
Like something knew before we’d know
Pre-Chorus
New Year’s faded, silence stayed
Thought maybe that was the end of the line
Till you reached out, soft and familiar
Like timing finally took our side
⸻
Chorus
You said we’re just friends,
I felt something more
Same moment, different meaning
I heard your eyes louder than your words
From swipes to sparks, from maybe to true
From almost breaking through
I didn’t know love starts this quiet
But it started… it started with you
⸻
Verse 2
First date screaming at a ball game
Hands in the air, losing our voices
Cheering for teams, laughing too hard
Like we didn’t know we were making choices
You handed me a shirt, said “you can change”
Locker room light, my hands still shook
A rose was hiding inside my bag
A small brave thing my heart took
When I walked back out, time slowed down
Pulled out the rose, didn’t say a thing
No gasp, no scene—just that subtle smile
Like you felt what it might mean
Street food lights and after-game talks
I walked you where the buses sleep
Said goodbye like it was nothing
But my heart was already too deep
⸻
Chorus
You said we’re just friends,
I felt something more
You wore your limits like armor
While my heart stood at the door
From borrowed shirts to passing roses
From glances that lingered too long
I didn’t know love needs patience
But I was learning it all along
