Across the driveway

⸻

I loved you since that Valentine,
A night that blurred into sunrise
From late nights out to building dreams,
Somewhere between the in-betweens
Our love grew roots, it held on tight,
Through every laugh, through every fight
Your heart so loud, it pulled me in,
I felt your world beneath your skin

You cried at endings on the screen,
Felt every word in every scene
And when the music filled the air,
You sang like every note was prayer

I miss the way you looked at me
Like I was all you’d ever see
Like I was everything you need
Like I was love, like I was free
I miss the love on Bryant Lane
The echoes calling out your name
The life we had, the way it grew
I still see all of me in you

You made me feel just like a queen,
In ways no one has ever seen
And now I stand here in between
What was and what will never be
The memories don’t fade away,
They linger more with every day
And though our story changed its course,
My heart still beats without remorse

I see you through my windowpane,
A quiet love, a hidden pain
So close, yet worlds we can’t retrace,
Just distance in a shared space

I miss the way you looked at me
Like I was all you’d ever see
Like I was everything you need
Like I was love, like I was free
I miss the love on Bryant Lane
The echoes calling out your name
The life we had, the way it grew
I still see all of me in you

I’m just across the driveway now,
Still wondering the why and how
If time could turn, if hearts could bend,
Would we still be what we had then?
I hope you feel it in the air,
The silent love that’s still right there
I never left, I never moved,
Just learning how to live with out youSo if you ever look my way,
Know I still love you from across the driveway
