Your knee hits mine, but you remain
I catch your stare, you look away
But not before you let it stay
Your hand is near, but not on mine
You speak, I pause, we blur the line
Just friends, that's what we say
But we don't act that way
No kiss, no proof, no fight
You laugh too soft, I lean too near
You say it's fine, but stay right here
My hand finds yours, just for a beat
You don't let go, you don't retreat
Your voice drops low, the lights feel dim
Your eyes won't quit, they pull me in
Just friends, or something more
You pause too long at every door
No move, no mess, no flame
But still it's not the same
Just friends, or in disguise
Your hand, your laugh, your eyes
No words, no rules, no plan
Just close enough to under
I never asked, you never said
But you replay it in your head
The way I looked, the way you froze,
the way we stood too close
No kiss, no mess, no fight
You leaned in close, I didn't move
just slipped right through
And everything you meant was there
But every time I'm next to you
You breathe like you forgot how to
Your eyes say more than you ever do
And I stay still, pretending to
4.8
