Midnight Whispers

“some things are just better left unsaid. Just left in my midnight confessions.”

I hear your footsteps in the hallway glow

Quiet little secrets that you’ll never know

Each echo lands like a prayer I despise

As you pass me by, never meeting my eyes

Your shadow floats just out of my fingers reach

While Your laughter sings, but not for me.

You smile like a morning dawn in a stranger’s sky

And I pretend you’re mine while I continue to live this lie

You move through my mind like a melody so faded, so jaded.

I swallow back the truth, it’s too heavy to say it

So I whisper after midnight

Confessions the daylight I can’t force to write

So I tell the stars that I love you

Though you’re miles and lifetimes out of my view

That gold ring you wear says I missed the all signs

And that You were never meant to be mine

So I wrap this ache in a fragile rhyme

And pretend again that I’m doing fine.

I stumble through the mornings, lost in the gray

Your voice in the wind steals my breath away

As You pass by me, but we never collide

And I drown in the scent of the dreams in which I try hide

I picture a world where the lines erased

Where time gave us one moment, in just one space

Wicked fate had your song written in someone else’s key

And you’ll never know exactly how much you mean to me.

So I let the silence take your place

My hands still reaching for your beautiful face

And I whisper after midnight

What my heart won’t say in the harsh daylight.

I love you that I say in the secret behind goodbyes.

Behind careful smiles and practiced lies

That gold ring shines like a red warning light

Telling me I’ve already lost this fight

So I fold my hands, lower my head, and dim my light

As I whisper to you… I love you…

“Goodnight”

Woo.

“Why can’t I just tell you how I feel?”

If I could rewind to the day we met

Would I choose peace or carry this heavy regret?

Would I still ache for what couldn’t be?

Or I can finally set both of us free?

In my whispers after midnight

I bleed the words that never sounded right

I loved you so deeply for a love so unknown

We belonged together, yet standing alone.

But mine still lingers in a distant phone booth

Where echoes fade and midnight soothes.

A heart with nothing left to really lose

Just whispers after midnight, fading with the light

I love you… and now

“goodnight”
