Closer than maybe

You looked away, but stayed so near

A thousand words you’d never say were crystal clear

Your hand in mine, just for a while

And silence knew how to make my heart smile

I laughed it off, but I felt the burn

Of every glance we didn’t return

You let me see the side you hide

But love like this don’t pick a side

I think we were closer than a maybe

Almost more than friends, but never fully, baby

Held your hand like I held my breath

You were here, but not mine yet

I think we were realer than the silence

Something in your touch broke through the quiet

If this was wrong, I’d still rewind it

You were my almost—can’t deny it

You let me fix your hair that night

I held your secrets in soft light

You laughed when Azli teased us both

But deep inside, I hoped you’d know

No one else got to see that side

Where you drop your guard and close your eyes

Maybe you forgot, maybe not

But I remember every soft spot

I think we were closer than a maybe

Almost more than friends, but never fully, baby

You didn’t say it—but I knew

There was something quiet between me and you

I don’t blame you, I won’t chase

But part of me still holds that place

Where we were halfway, holding on

To something we knew wouldn’t last long

So here’s to the smiles and half-lit nights

To holding hands and missed green lights

Maybe in another life, we’d try

But for now, I’ll whisper you goodbye
