Half-Light Glow

Shh…

Don’t ask for more

Just… be here

⸻

You move like music with no beat

Familiar lips I never meet

A glance that knows, then looks away

We only touch when skies are gray

Midnight talks with guarded hearts

You undress slow, but never start

A ghost in flesh, a fire gone cold

But I still chase what I can’t hold

⸻

You don’t promise, I don’t plead

We just follow where it leads

If this is wrong, I don’t need right

You’re my favorite kind of night

⸻

Let’s lie in the half-light glow

Where names mean less than what we know

No future talk, no letting in

Just this fever on our skin

Don’t name it love — it breaks too fast

Just let this moment be our last

We’re written soft, then wiped away

But God, I’d still relive today

⸻

Mmm-hmm…

We fade like smoke — and that’s okay

(Just don’t stay)

⸻

You never ask what’s on my mind

Just trace my spine to pass the time

You leave a mark but not a name

And I still ache, but don’t blame

We laugh like liars, kiss like thieves

No one holds what no one needs

Your silence says more than your lips

We drown in every filtered slip

⸻

We don’t beg for morning light

We’re strangers even in the night

No forever, no pretend

But still, I hope we don’t end

⸻

Let’s lie in the half-light glow

Where names mean less than what we know

No future talk, no letting in

Just this fever on our skin

Don’t name it love — it breaks too fast

Just let this moment be our last

We’re written soft, then wiped away

But God, I’d still relive today

⸻

Hold me like you never will again

Lie to me without the sin

Let’s leave our truths outside the door

And stay until we feel no more

⸻

Let’s lie in the half-light glow

Where all we are is what we show

No past to haunt, no scars to see

Just the version you want of me

And when you go, I won’t ask why

I’ll just remember how we tried

Some stories aren’t meant to grow

But damn, they light the afterglow

⸻

(We live… we leave…)

…in the half-light glow

Where the truth don’t ever go
