Lingering

We moved in silence, side by side,

A closeness hidden, a love denied.

Your fingers brushed, then pulled away,

A careful life I could not sway.

Verse 2

I remember the warmth, the quiet fire,

A fleeting spark of forbidden desire.

Two worlds apart, yet here we stay,

A memory that won’t decay.

Chorus

Did you feel it too, or just I alone?

The lingering kiss, the pulse, the unknown.

I carried it soft, I carried it true,

A truth that lived between me and you.

Bridge

Walls built of fear, of what can’t be said,

Moments replay in my head.

Do you feel the ghost of that flame,

Or am I the only one calling your name?

Outro

A hidden spark, a fragile thread,

The fire we touched but never fed.

I keep it quiet, I keep it near,

A secret echo only I hear.
