One Night Only
We fell in love the way strangers do by accident by candlelight by pretending tomorrow didn’t exist
Your laugh stayed too long in the room like it wanted to belong to me I memorized the curve of your voice knowing memory was all I’d get
Outside, the city keeps its secrets inside, we told each other everything that only feels safe when it doesn’t have to last
Morning came too gently You said my name like a goodbye without admitting it was one I watched you leave already missing someone I was never meant to keep
Now every almost-love reminds me of you proof that one night is enough to change the shape of the heart and not enough to save it
