Between Us
Sometimes, it’s the way the light falls
in the quiet hours,
when the day is almost gone,
and the shadows stretch out like secrets
waiting to be whispered.
It’s the soft hum of a song
that plays only between us,
the unspoken understanding
that we don’t need to say everything
to know everything.
I’ve never wanted for much
more than this:
the way you laugh when you’re not trying,
how your eyes find mine across a room,
the way the world feels
a little softer,
a little slower,
when you’re near.
There are no promises,
no grand gestures,
just this quiet knowing
that some things
don’t need words to be real.
Maybe that’s the way it should be,
how the best things
are never loud,
but simply…
here.
