Midnight on the rooftop city breathes below
You trace the skyline with a paw I’ve come to know
No hustler’s grin no practiced lie
Just quiet eyes that don’t look away
I found your mask beside the ledge—
the one you wear to hide the edge
Where doubt once cut like winter rain
Now softened by a different name
You never said you’d stay
But here you are still
When every other shadow ran
IT’S NOT THE PROMISES WE SPEAK—
IT’S HOW WE STAND WHEN WORDS GROW WEAK
Paw in paw beneath this sky
No need to ask the reason why
You stayed when trust was thin and cold
And turned my lonely into “we”
Remember ice cream scams and chase through Little Rodentia
We called it work—but something else grew quietly
Not in the case not in the chase
But in the space between “I can’t”and “Wait”
You saw the crack inside my pride
And didn’t flinch—you matched my stride
IT’S NOT THE PROMISES WE SPEAK—
IT’S HOW WE STAND WHEN WORDS GROW WEAK
Paw in paw beneath this sky
No need to ask the reason why
You stayed when trust was thin and cold
And turned my lonely into “we”
They said a fox and rabbit
Could never share the same ground
But roots don’t care for labels
When they’re reaching for the same sound
IT’S NOT THE PROMISES WE SPEAK—
IT’S HOW WE STAND WHEN WORDS GROW WEAK
Paw in paw beneath this sky
No need to ask the reason why
You stayed when trust was thin and cold
And turned my lonely into “we”!
One breath…one heartbeat…
No more pretending
Just us
