Midnight Reverie

I watched the smoke rise off your lips

Like prayers from a sinner’s kiss

You didn't ask, and I didn't run

We were too far gone to come undone

The city sighed beneath our feet

Glass and moonlight, cold concrete

You said nothing — but I heard it clear

Every silence pulling me near

I wasn’t made for soft confessions

But you caught me in suspension

And in the hush of midnight streets

I burned for you and broke in me

You held my name like it was glass

I swore I’d never love like that

A shadow dancing in your flame

I touched your heart and left my name

You saw the fire beneath my skin

When no one dared to light a match

I kept your echo in my chest

Like verses I could never confess

Too raw, too real, too close to fall

But your voice still climbs my every wall

We are a secret never said

An aftertaste I can't forget

A memory sharp like winter air

Still lingering when you're not there

You never begged for truth or reasons

But I bled through all my seasons

And in the hush of midnight streets

I burned for you and broke in me

You held my name like it was glass

I swore I’d never love like that

A shadow dancing in your flame

I touched your heart and left my name

You saw the fire beneath my skin

When no one dared to light a match

Maybe some love stays unnamed

A quiet ache we can't reclaim

But I'd lose myself again and again

For one more night beneath your hands

So in the hush of midnight streets

Where ghosts like us still choose to meet

You’ll find me humming what we lost

In every echo, in every cost

You held my name like it was glass

And I —

I swore I’d never love like that
