Stay in my eyes

You look at me like you already know

Every version of me I don’t show

Like you found the parts I tried to hide

Without even asking why

And everybody else fades into noise

When you lean in close and drop your voice

God, the tension cuts straight through the room

Every time I’m next to you

It’s dangerous

How easy this feels

Like my soul forgot

What pretending is

Cause you see me

Like nobody does

Like you read the dark

Without needing words

And maybe we shouldn’t cross this line

Maybe wrong can still feel right sometimes

But every time your eyes lock into mine

I forget why we have to hide

We talk in codes and half held breaths

In crowded rooms avoiding steps

But your hand almost touching mine

Feels louder than a neon sign

Maybe this was never meant to be safe

Maybe some connections don’t behave

Maybe the universe gets cruel sometimes

And puts real love in complicated lives

You see me

Even when I disappear

And somehow your silence

Is the thing I hear

So if this burns

Then let it burn bright

Cause I’d rather feel this once

Than never feel alive
