From Adjacency to Us v2

We started out just toein’ the line

No labels, no plans—just borrowed time

Playlists said more than we could speak

Two avoidants dancing on a losing streak

Sarcasm sharp, chemistry loud

Flirting with maybes we never allowed

But your green eyes cracked my sky

Didn’t believe in fate—now I’m wonderin’ why

From weathered banter to smutty books

Cowboys blankets and sideways looks

We both read signs we tried to dismiss

But babe, the truth was hidin’ in our kiss

’Cause we were dangerously adjacent

No promises, just placement

But somewhere between the jokes and scars

We mapped our hearts under drunken stars

Now every touch, every line that you drop

Feels like a world we never wanna stop

From sarcasm and stares to something real

From adjacency… to how we feel

Mini-golf mischief, you were sunburnt red

Kissin’ on the course, sweet words unsaid

A couple beers, a scorecard kiss

You laughed, I swore I hadn’t felt like this

Then came the “oh my”s and high school hands

The way time warped when we canceled plans

Talked trauma, nerves, and fears so raw

Like two puzzle pieces with matching flaws

You wrecked my streak at Pockets pool

Didn’t go easy—you don’t play by those rules

Still, you made me blush like a sixteen-year-old

While my kids kept count like the story was gold

We were dangerously adjacent

No names, just an engagement

Of eyes and minds and guarded hearts

But look at us now—we’re past the start

Chinese food and horror screams

Wakin’ up next to you like livin’ a dream

From hush-hush tension to undeniable trust

From adjacency… to the spark that’s us

I used to hide behind half-typed texts

Now I’m dreamin’ of what could come next

Every night we didn’t plan felt designed

Every “goodbye” only bought us more time

We skipped the coffee, but not the depth

Now you’re in my mornings, in every breath

Now your kid’s bustin’ your chops, sayin’, “That your boo?”

Givin’ you side-eyes when I’m mentioned too

He came back from Grandma’s, caught you smilin’ wide

Gave you that “I see you” look—no place to hide

He’s askin’ when he’ll meet my crew

Wants to know if my boys like Mario too

And no, this never felt like a fling

From the start it’s been the real damn thing

We wrecked the plans, but this feels whole

Every laugh, every look’s been good for the soul

From first date grins to shared routines

From hush-hush vibes to bigger dreams

We’re no longer dangerously adjacent

We’re building something—real, impatient

Not naming forever, but it’s in our sights

And babe…

This ride feels right
