Forbidden

I probably shouldn’t write this…

But some feelings don’t disappear

Just because they’re inconvenient.

And somehow, you became

Every corner of my mind.

Physically, I adore you,

There’s something ‘bout the way you move.

I try to look away, but somehow

My eyes keep finding you.

There’s a tension in the silence,

Something neither one can name,

And every time we’re in the same room,

I swear I feel it change.

Mentally, you fascinate me,

You see through what I never say.

You notice when I’m not okay,

You don’t just walk away.

You make me laugh when I don’t want to,

You listen when I need someone,

And somehow being around you

Feels like somewhere I belong.

That’s what scares me the most—

It’s deeper than attraction.

It’s the way you know my heart

Without asking for an explanation.

I know there are lines between us

That I was never meant to cross,

But feelings don’t understand boundaries

And hearts don’t count the cost.

My true place is my mind,

The only place that’s ever been mine.

But you invaded every corner of it,

Now you’re there all the time.

In every song, every memory,

Every thought I try to hide,

I can run from what I’m feeling,

But I can’t run from my mind.

Maybe the right place ain’t on any map,

Maybe some roads were never meant to last.

Maybe you’re the person

I was never supposed to find,

But somehow, you’re living

In every corner of my mind.

I admire the way you love,

Even when you act like you don’t.

You’re guarded with the world,

But somehow with me, you don’t.

You have a heart beneath that armour,

A softness you rarely show,

And maybe that’s the part of you

That got underneath my soul.

You’re the kind who stays beside me

When I’m fighting through my days.

You never make me feel like

I’m too much or in the way.

And I hate how safe it feels

When I know it shouldn’t be,

Because somewhere between friendship and feelings,

You became more to me.

And I don’t know what you feel,

Maybe I never really will.

Maybe every little moment

Was only something I built.

But if I’m being honest,

I can’t pretend I don’t care.

Because every time I need somebody,

Somehow you’re already there.

My true place is my mind,

The only place that’s ever been mine.

But you invaded every corner of it,

Now you’re there all the time.

In every song, every memory,

Every thought I try to hide,

I can run from what I’m feeling,

But I can’t run from my mind.

Maybe the right place ain’t on any map,

Maybe some roads were never meant to last.

Maybe you’re the person

I was never supposed to find,

But somehow, you’re living

In every corner of my mind.

If I could choose what I felt,

I’d choose something easier.

Something that didn’t make me question

Every look and every word.

I’d choose a feeling with no consequences,

A heart that knew when to stop.

But you can’t tell a heart to forget

What the heart never forgot.

And maybe we’ll never say it,

Maybe that’s s
