He smiles so softly like dawn through the mist
Every word polished nothing’s ever amiss
His world’s too quiet too neat to be true
Even silence is tailored perfectly smooth
He cooks with grace but avoids my eyes
Says he’s just tired and lets the night lie
His hands are warm but never hold tight
I fade like a shadow in his well-posed life
He hides behind his gentle smile
A warmth that lasts only a while
Our love’s a stage I missed my cue
Lost in a play I never knew
He hides behind his gentle smile
Afraid I’ll see the truth’s profile
If love’s a mask we both outgrew
Then letting go is loving too
They all say he’s kind polite and strong
The perfect man who can’t be wrong
But one brief glance gave him away—
His eyes lit up for someone far away
Maybe he’s trapped like I’ve been too
Both of us chasing something true
Love isn’t wrong just lost its map
I wish him peace—and take mine back
