When We Were Us

You stood behind, not saying much, Yet in the hush, I felt your touch. The mirror framed our quiet grace, Two souls in love, one warm embrace. You'd watch me comb, your eyes so still, The room would breathe against your will. No need for words, your gaze would speak— Of stolen time, of hearts made weak. You'd press me close against the wall, And in that hush, I had it all. Your fingers whispered on my skin, Like love too big to hold within. I’d laugh, and you would just observe, That smile of yours I didn’t deserve. But in your eyes, I caught the flame, Of someone scared to play love’s game. Now memories play on quiet loops, In every pause, your shadow stoops. Though we’ve outgrown what once felt true, In those small moments, I had you.
