Verse 1
It was barely any time at all
Just enough to learn your coffee order
A few late nights, a couple laughs
Like we were crossing some quiet border
You said my name like it mattered
Looked at me like you were sure
I didn’t know you were just trying
To feel something more
Pre-Chorus
I thought sparks were something mutual
Didn’t know they were one-sided
I was reading every moment
You were hoping they’d arrive
Chorus
It was short, it was nothing on paper
But it felt like something real to me
You planned our days like you were in it
Like you saw what I could see
You said maybe it would grow
If you gave it just some time
But I was standing in the moment
You were still looking for a sign
Verse 2
You said, “Let’s not rush the feeling”
Like it wasn’t already there
I took patience for progress
Didn’t know you were unsure
You held my hand like you meant to
But not like you wanted to
I didn’t see the difference then
Now it’s all I ever do
Pre-Chorus
Every smile felt intentional
Every plan felt like a step
I didn’t know you were convincing yourself
And I was just getting swept
Chorus
It was short, it was nothing on paper
But every second felt intense
You talked about tomorrow
Like it wasn’t just pretense
You hoped something would show up
If you stayed inside my light
But I was already there
And you were just trying to try
Bridge
Now it’s over before it started
And I can’t tell what was mine
Was it real or just the echo
Of you giving it one last try
You didn’t fake it, you didn’t lie
But you didn’t feel it either
And somehow that hurts worse
Than if you’d never come near
Chorus (Soft)
It was short, it was barely anything
But it left me standing still
I thought we were building toward something
Now I’m just sitting with the chill
I’m not hurting over what we were
I’m hurting over what I saw
Something real was starting for me
Before it was anything at all
Outro
Such a small space in my timeline
Still louder than it should be
It was never really something
But it felt like it could be
