Backseat Healing

You slid in like you weren’t sure you’d stay

Eyes on the floor, like the world looked away

Didn’t say much, just “drive” — so I did

Played something slow, let the silence sit

You had tears you wouldn’t cry

Pain you dressed up as pride

But I knew that kind of quiet

The kind that never lies

⸻

You didn’t ask for saving

Didn’t ask to be seen

But healing ain’t always loud

Sometimes it hums in-between

⸻

Backseat healing, riding through the night

No words needed — just the dim streetlights

All your edges softened in the glow

Didn’t say “I’m hurting,” I just know

And maybe I can’t fix what you feel

But I’ll drive until something feels real

Backseat healing — no pressure, just peace

With you next to me

⸻

You laughed once — soft, like it surprised you

Said, “I don’t know why I even trust you”

But your hand found mine without a sound

And for once, you didn’t pull back out

I won’t ask for more than you can give

Won’t rush a heart that’s learning how to live

But if this ride is all we get tonight

Let me be the calm that feels right

⸻

You don’t have to confess

Or let the past spill out

Just sit here in this stillness

Till the storm slows down

⸻

Backseat healing, riding through the night

No words needed — just the dim streetlights

All your edges softened in the glow

Didn’t say “I’m hurting,” I just know

And maybe I can’t fix what you feel

But I’ll drive until something feels real

Backseat healing — no pressure, just peace

With you next to me

⸻

You don’t need fixing

You just need space

To feel your way out

At your own damn pace

So lean that seat back

Let the sky roll by

I’ll be the silence

You can finally trust tonight

⸻

Backseat healing, mile after mile

No fake comfort, no forced smile

Just a soft place where you can be

Unrushed, undone, and still free

And if all I can give is this ride

Then I’ll drive through every tear you hide

Backseat healing — no answers, just peace

With you next to me
