Golden Hour Glow

---

[Verse 1]
I fell for you… before you knew
I was young… but my love was true
Innocent… in its intent
But I couldn’t… see it through

The year passed slow… my hesitation
She looked once…
And gave in… to temptation

The sky burned gold… then deepened red
Evening whispered… what I never said


---

[Pre-Chorus]
She was everything…
But so were you
It shattered all…
That I held true


---

[Chorus]
Softly, slowly… you held us both
A heart divided… like a fading coast
I touched your lips… I held your hand
But she was there… and I could only stand
Between your maybe…
And the evening glow
Learning to love… in the sunset’s flow


---

[Verse 2]
I finally told you… what you mean to me
Knowing I’d not have… your reciprocity
But what you did…
Should have made me flee

You kissed me once…
While she was there
She allowed it…
I felt so bare

The sky leaned purple… night drew near
I held my heart… through the quiet fear


---

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You said it wasn’t…
What it seemed
But nothing’s innocent…
When three hearts dream


---

[Chorus]
Softly, slowly… you held us both
A heart divided… like a fading coast
I touched your lips… I held your hand
But she was there… and I could only stand
Between your maybe…
And the evening glow
Learning to love… in the sunset’s flow


---

[Bridge]
I should have known…
But letting go… has made me grown
Grateful for the path… I take
For new love… for my own sake
The sunset warms… my face… I rise
No longer tangled… in your lies


---

[Final Chorus]
Softly, slowly… the years went by
I found my way… beneath the sunset sky
Your maybe faded… no hand to guide
I learned to love… I learned to stride
Time gave me courage…
Time gave me light
And I found my own love… warm and bright
