Before the fire starts

(Verse 1)
I walk the edge of midnight dreams, where silence softly sings,
A trembling constellation caught between forbidden things,
My heartbeat writes your name in rhythms no one hears,
A melody of wonder shaped by hope and hidden fears.

I’ve traced your shadow in the glow of every passing light,
Imagined how your laughter sounds dissolving into night,
A novice to the language that my restless body knows,
A garden still unopened, like a secret midnight rose.

I’ve read about devotion in the poetry of stars,
But none explained the gravity of standing where you are,
Close enough to feel the warmth you carry in your skin,
Like summer leaning gently where the wild winds begin.

(Pre-Chorus)
I’m standing on a threshold made of longing and of trust,
Where innocence meets courage and desire turns to dust,
Not rushing toward the moment, just letting feelings grow—
Because my heart has chosen you, and now I want you to know.

(Chorus)
I’m ready for the fire before the fire starts,
Ready for the rhythm beating through our hearts,
Not just for the touch but the story we’ll begin,
The way your eyes unlock the world I’m living in.
I’ve waited through the quiet, through every maybe-someday spark,
Now I’m singing to you softly in the dark,
If love’s a door, I’m standing with the key—
And tonight, I want you close to me.

(Verse 2)
You walk like confidence was sculpted in your bones,
Like thunder learned its patience listening to your tones,
Six feet of gravity pulling my world near,
Every step rewriting what I thought I’d fear.

Your shoulders carry stories I can almost read,
Strength wrapped in gentleness — exactly what I need,
A smile that feels dangerous, but somehow safe too,
Like every dream I buried slowly waking up in you.

I wonder if you notice how my breathing changes pace,
How courage blooms like sunlight every time I see your face,
I’m learning new emotions I never understood,
How nervousness and happiness can both feel so good.

(Pre-Chorus)
I’m not just chasing passion or a fleeting fantasy,
I want the kind of closeness where my soul can still be me,
And every whispered promise feels honest and true—
Because this first unfolding feels right with you.

(Chorus)
I’m ready for the fire before the fire starts,
Ready for the rhythm beating through our hearts,
Not just for the touch but the story we’ll begin,
The way your eyes unlock the world I’m living in.
I’ve waited through the quiet, through every maybe-someday spark,
Now I’m singing to you softly in the dark,
If love’s a door, I’m standing with the key—
And tonight, I want you close to me.

(Bridge — Spoken/Sung)
They told me love would feel like falling,
But this feels more like flight,
Like learning how to trust the sky
Instead of fearing height.

I’m not losing who I am —
I’m discovering new art,
Every dream I kept protected
Now unfolding in my heart.
