In a crowd of strangers, I saw your face
On a quiet bus in a foreign place
Paris breathing, midnight falling slow
You stared outside
And I watched you go
It felt like something from another life
A déjà vu I couldn't justify
No names exchanged, no future plans
Just two lost hearts with time in their hands
You said you were lost, unsure where to turn
I smiled and said, "I've had my bridges burned"
Two drifting souls beneath the city lights
Caught in a silence that felt so right
That night in Paris, in the silver rain
You were the verse I never got to explain
We spoke of dreams like we still believed
In a world that loves, then quietly leaves
And your smile lit up the quiet street
As if heartbreak had a heartbeat
Was it fate or just a passing flame?
I still regret not asking you to stay
The hour struck and the streets were bare
You whispered "goodbye" like a fading prayer
I reached for you, but caught the air
As your shadow slipped through the city's glare
You said, "Traveling helps you let things go"
But I remember every word spoken low
That night in Paris, in the silver rain
You were the verse I never got to explain
We spoke of dreams like we still believed
In a world that loves, then quietly leaves
And your smile lit up the quiet street
As if heartbreak had a heartbeat
Was it fate or just a passing flame?
I still regret not asking you to stay
If I had just held on a moment more
Would you have turned
Would we have been more?
Now it's just a melody and the dark
Playing all the things I never said out loud
That night in Paris
Where silence sang
You left me with a thousand
What-ifs that still hang
You're the ache I hum in every song
The right I met in a time so wrong
