Rain writes lines across the glass
City breathing soft and low
I’m not reaching out tonight
Just letting moments go
Your room is glowing down the street
A frame of yellow calm
I wonder who you’re talking to
While I’m holding on
I don’t need to be inside
To feel the warmth you make
Some love learns how to stay alive
By learning how to wait
Soft lights on your window
I watch from where I stand
No promises between us
Just quiet in my hands
I don’t need you closer
I don’t need to know
I like the way you’re shining
From somewhere I won’t go
Traffic hums like distant waves
My breath falls into time
I stopped asking what we are
And started feeling fine
Your laughter leaks into the night
Like music through the wall
I smile, then I look away
I don’t need it all
Some hearts are better seen
From a little far away
Love feels lighter when you leave
Some words unsaid
Soft lights on your window
They don’t call out my name
But somehow they remind me
I’m not the same
I don’t need you closer
I don’t need control
I like the way you’re living
In a glow I don’t hold
If I knock, the magic breaks
If I stay, it gently grows
There’s beauty in the almosts
In the things we don’t own
Soft lights on your window
I turn my collar up
The night feels kind and patient
That’s more than enough
I don’t need tomorrow
I don’t need to know
Tonight I’m just a passerby
In your quiet glow
The rain slows
So do I
